How England could line up against Hungary

How England could line up against Hungary

England manager Gareth Southgate still has a question mark over Phil Foden ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Nations League clash with Hungary at Molineux.

The PFA Young Player of the Year has returned to training after recovering from COVID-19 but may not be considered for a start as he builds up his fitness slowly.

Kalvin Phillips returned from a dead leg in time to come off the bench in Saturday's goalless draw with Italy, and changes aplenty can be expected from England once again.

Southgate may want to see how well Nick Pope performs in goal, while John Stones and Marc Guehi are ready to freshen up the backline alongside Kyle Walker.

A lack of left-back options means that Kieran Trippier is unlikely to be afforded a rest, but Declan Rice is certainly in need of one, which benefits Jude Bellingham's chances of a recall.

Conor Gallagher will hope to finally earn some minutes in the midfield and could be joined by James Ward-Prowse, with Southgate likely to be cautious over Phillips.

Tammy Abraham did not make his opportunity from the first whistle count against some of his Serie A counterparts at the weekend, so 50-goal Harry Kane ought to rejoin the frontline alongside a well-rested Bukayo Saka.

England possible starting lineup: Pope; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Bellingham, Ward-Prowse, Gallagher; Saka, Kane, Sterling
