Bukayo Saka will be recalled to the England starting XI for the Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark at Wembley tonight.
The Arsenal winger, 19, started against Germany in the round-of-16 but picked up a knock in training which meant he missed the quarter-final triumph over Ukraine, with Jadon Sancho starting on the right-hand side.
But, in the only change from the team which won on Saturday, Saka will come in over Sancho, with Mason Mount continuing in the No 10 role behind captain Harry Kane.

Despite impressing against Ukraine, Jadon Sancho has been dropped by Gareth Southgate
Raheem Sterling, who has scored three times in this tournament, continues on the left-hand side, with Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips in central midfield.
The back-four will again be made up of Kyle Walker on the right, Harry Maguire and John Stones at centre back and the in-form Luke Shaw at left back.
Jordan Pickford is in goal, as Gareth Southgate opts not to revert back to a three-at-the-back formation, as was the case against Germany.
England starting XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Rice, Phillips; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane
