    England face Italy in the Uefa Nations League on Saturday, the third of four clashes the sides face at the end of the 2021/22 campaign before players can finally head off on a close-season break.

    The Three Lions were beaten by Hungary before claiming a late draw against Italy in midweek, thanks to Harry Kane’s penalty - his 50th goal on the international stage.

    Italy, meanwhile, also drew 1-1 with Germany before seeing off Hungary in Group A3 - the Azzurri top the quartet as we head to the midway point of the group.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold has departed the England squad and Kalvin Phillips picked up an injury in the last outing, meaning Gareth Southgate will need to shuffle his pack once more.

    Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

    What is the team news?

    Trent Alexander-Arnold has been allowed to leave the squad as planned, while James Justin is a doubt after injury. Phil Foden has Covid so is still sidelined, but Fikayo Tomori could be ready for inclusion after injury. Kalvin Phillips came off against Germany though and it remains to be seen whether he has recovered.
