England XI vs Czech Republic: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Nations League today

But the Three Lions head coach is now expected to rest some key players as the Czechs arrive at Wembley for England’s fourth and final match of this extended three-week international break.

There will be no Scott, who dazzled on his first senior England start in Rijeka, or Konsa, who played 90 minutes against Croatia after sitting out the win over the Czech Republic, after both withdrew from the squad on Monday.

Lewis has not played for England at senior level since November 2024 but can fill in at full-back on either flank.

All 22 members of the squad took part in a group training session at Tottenham’s training ground on Monday afternoon.

Captain Harry Kane is expected to play on Tuesday in some capacity - either from the start or as a substitute - and will draw level with Peter Shilton to become England’s joint most-capped men’s player of all time on 125 appearances.

Other senior players could be rested or, at least, be spared from a full 90 minutes at Wembley. Jordan Pickford will retain his place in goal, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to come in at right-back and Myles Lewis-Skelly should replace Scott in midfield.

Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Guehi and Jarrad Branthwaite will compete for the three centre-back spots following Konsa’s withdrawal.

England predicted lineup vs Czech Republic (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Chalobah, Guehi, Hall; Anderson, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Gibbs-White, Rogers; Kane

Out: Konsa, Scott, O’Reilly, Rice, Palmer, Rashford, Mainoo, Livramento
