How England are set to line up against Senegal in World Cup last 16 with Foden DROPPED but Walker keeping place


PHIL FODEN is set to be dropped against Senegal – despite scoring in the win over Wales.

The Manchester City playmaker forced his way into the starting XI last Tuesday as England lacked creativity against the USA.

But even though he grabbed the second goal which helped seal the victory and top spot in Group B, it is not enough to keep him in the team.

However, Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker all look on course to keep their places after also impressing.

Rashford scored two to go level in the race for the Golden Boot.

He is expected to begin the match on the left wing, the opposite flank from where he has been so effective at the World Cup so far.

That allows Bukayo Saka to return to the team and get the nod on the right – with Raheem Sterling left out again.

Declan Rice and Henderson will provide the solid double pivot in midfield with Jude Bellingham given a free role just in front.

The back five will remain unchanged, too.

That will see Jordan Pickford in goal with Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
