Harry Kane‘s participation remains a doubt for England with the striker not part of the squad that faced Greece. Ezra Konsa, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Kobbie Mainoo had to withdraw earlier from this round of games due to injury concerns.
Additionally, Bukayo Saka will also miss this game due to a hamstring injur, and Chelsea superstar Cole Palmer could take his place on the right flank.
England predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Walker, Guehi, Colwill, Lewis — Rice, Gallagher — Palmer, Bellingham, Gordon — Watkins.
Injured: Konsa, White, Mainoo, Kane (doubt), Saka (doubt)
Suspended: None
Finland, on the other hand, enter this game without any new injuries from their last game. Kaan Kairinen had to withdraw earlier from the squad due to injury.
All-time top scorer Teemu Pukki could return to the starting lineup for this match, replacing Joel Pohjanpalo as Finland’s sole striker.
Finland predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Hradecky (GK) — Stahl, Hoskonen, Ivanov, Uronen — Schuller, Peltola — Lod, Kamara, Antman — Pukki.
Injured: Kairinen
Suspended: None
These two sides have only met once before, when England defeated Finland 2-0 at home in this edition of the Nations League.
While they didn’t look at their best against Greece, the Three Lions should bounce back with a comfortable victory against an underperforming Finland side.
