Trippier in as England revert to back five, Italy unchanged
The Peninsula
LONDON - England coach Gareth Southgate has reverted to a back five for his side's Euro 2020 final clash against Italy at Wembley, with Kieran Trippier coming in for Bukayo Saka.
Southgate elected to go with the five-man defence against Germany in the last 16 with Trippier at right wing back and Luke Shaw on the left in that win, and he has used that same formula for England's first European Championship final. Arsenal teenager Saka drops to the bench, meaning Mason Mount will play in a wide forward position with skipper Harry Kane the lone striker through the middle, while Kyle Walker joins John Stones and Harry Maguire in central defence.More Related News
