How England are set to line up against Senegal in World Cup last 16 with Foden DROPPED but Walker keeping place

Published on December 04, 2022 at 02:41 PM

PHIL FODEN is set to be dropped against Senegal – despite scoring in the win over Wales.

The Manchester City playmaker forced his way into the starting XI last Tuesday as England lacked creativity against the USA.

Mason Mount, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish all look set to start on the benchBut even though he grabbed the second goal which helped seal the victory and top spot in Group B, it is not enough to keep him in the team.

However, Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker all look on course to keep their places after also impressing.

Rashford scored two to go level in the race for the Golden Boot.

He is expected to begin the match on the right wing, where he has been so effective at the World Cup so far.

And Raheem Sterling could be recalled on the left – although other reports suggest Bukayo Saka may get the nod.

Declan Rice and Henderson will provide the solid double pivot in midfield with Jude Bellingham given a free role just in front.

The back five will remain unchanged, too.

That will see Jordan Pickford in goal with Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.

HOW TO GET FREE BETS ON THE WORLD CUP

Ben White returned home due to personal reasons this week and is not expected to head back to Qatar.

James Maddison, Conor Gallagher and Conor Coady are the only other outfield Three Lions players yet to see a minute of action so far.

England’s clash with Senegal kicks off at 7pm and is live on ITV1 – with France or Poland waiting in the quarter-final.
