Media suggests Southgate may choose surprise, adjust defensive game in Round 8 against Switzerland at Euro 2024

British media reported that Gareth Southgate, the manager of the English national ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app team, may have a small surprise in the last 8 teams of Euro 2024. Which will meet Switzerland by recalling Trent Alexander-Arnold. A full-back from Liverpool to replace Marc Guehi. A center-back from Crystal Palace is serving a suspension.

Kehi picked up a full yellow card in Sunday’s thrilling 2-1 extra-time win over Slovakia. Meaning he will serve a one-match suspension and will miss the next round against Switzerland.

Southgate has back-up centre-back options in the likes of Brighton’s Lewis Dunk and Liverpool’s Joe Gomez, as well as Aston Villa’s Ezri Konsa. After former Manchester United starter Harry Maguire was ruled out by injury before the tournament was announced.

However, Southgate is expected to make more unexpected choices. Such as recalling Alexander-Arnold, who was dropped for the win over Slovakia, to the starting XI. But at right-back. While also moving Manchester City utility Kyle Walker to partner team-mate John Stones at centre-back.

Other positions may not change. 19-year-old Manchester United youngster Cobbie Mainoo will start in midfield, with Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and captain Harry Kane up front. While Jude Bellingham will slot in from the second row.
