England vs Czech Republic lineups: Saka, Grealish, Maguire start - team news, squads for Euros fixture today

Bukayo Saka, Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire all start for England in tonight’s crunch Euro 2020 clash with the Czech Republic, with Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell isolating.

Gareth Southgate’s preparations were rocked by news that Mount and Chilwell are having to isolate after coming into contact with Chelsea team-mate Gilmour at England’s draw against Scotland.

With the Chelsea duo now forced to isolate for 10 days, they are unavailable - and Arsenal star Saka and Aston Villa captain Grealish step in.

Three Lions captain Harry Kane failed to have a shot on target in the opening two group games, and was substituted off in both the 1-0 win over Croatia and Friday's goalless draw with Scotland.

Despite the rusty start, Southgate has kept faith in Kane with England needing to beat the Czech Republic if they are to advance as winners of Group D.

In defence, Manchester United captain Maguire returns from injury with Tyrone Mings dropped at centre-back.
