Luke Shaw has fully recovered from injury but coach Southgate did not dare to use him from the start, in the Euro 2024 semi-final between England and the Netherlands.
Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw is hoping to make his first start in Germany after impressing late in the game against Switzerland.
However, coach Gareth Southgate will still put his faith in Kieran Trippier on the left wing, when he arranges the expected lineup for England vs Netherlands.
Coach Southgate does not dare to put Luke Shaw in the starting lineup
Newcastle's right winger was constantly pushed to the opposite side, making it difficult for Trippier to support the attack with Bellingham and Phil Foden.
Despite that, Southgate has faith in Trippier's defensive ability, as he prepares to face the Netherlands' fast and technical attackers.
Luke Shaw has recovered from injury and had a good performance in the quarter-finals but is still questioned about his fitness to play the full 90 minutes.
Accordingly, coach Southgate plans to change only one position in the starting lineup. Center-back Ezri Konsa will have to make way for Marc Guehi - who has just returned from suspension.
Expected England lineup against Netherlands
England will continue to play with a three-man defense, with the wing duo Bukayo Saka (right) - Kieran Trippier (left). Because the above formation will maximize the abilities of Bellingham, Saka and Declan Rice.
On the Dutch side, coach Koeman has no problems with personnel. The Dutch coach himself has rarely changed the starting lineup since the beginning of the tournament.
The default back four is always Van Dijk - De Vrij - Nathan Ake - Dumfries in front of goalkeeper Verbruggen. The central midfield duo receives great trust from Schouten - Reijnders.
The Netherlands has a stable squad.
Up front, the only position that Koeman is hesitant about is left-sided striker. Bergwijn did not play well against Türkiye, so he is likely to lose his starting position to Donyell Malen.
Meanwhile, the trio of Cody Gakpo, Xavier Simons, and Memphis Depay will continue to work together to bring strong firepower to the "orange whirlwind".
Expected lineup
UK: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Mainoo, Rice, Trippier; Foden, Bellingham; Kane.
Netherlands : Verbruggen; Dumfries, De Vrij, Van Dijk, Ake; Schouten, Reijnders; Malen, Simons, Gakpo; Depay.
