England face off against Serbia in their first Euro 2024 group game this evening as they aim to get off to a strong start.
Gareth Southgate has spent the last week finetuning his squad for the start of the tournament.
The Three Lions are one of the pre-tournament favourites and Southgate was given a boost this week with Luke Shaw taking part in training as he continues to recover from a long injury lay-off.
The Manchester United full-back is Southgate's only recognised left-back in his England squad with Kieran Trippier expected to deputise until Shaw is fit enough to start.

The defensive unit is relatively untried with Marc Guehi and John Stones only starting two games together previously.
In midfield, Southgate looks set to use Trent Alexander-Arnold alongside Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.
Captain Harry Kane will lead the line with Phil Foden and Bukayo Saka expected to start either side of him.
There's plenty of pressure on this current crop of England players to go one step further than the previous European Championship tournament when they lost to Italy on penalties in the 2020 final.
It's paramount for England to get off to a strong start against Serbia to avoid any nerves in their final two group games.
