England XI vs North Macedonia: Confirmed team news, injury latest, predicted lineup for Euro 2024 qualifier
Following their Champions League final success against Inter Milan, none of City’s Three Lions representatives started the 4-0 drubbing of Malta on Friday night.
But John Stones is likely to return this evening to partner Harry Maguire in defence, while Phil Foden and Jack Grealish are to set play some part against North Macedonia at Old Trafford.
Bukayo Saka has trained ahead of the game and manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed the Arsenal winger is fit despite taking a heavy knock to his ankle against Malta.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is also pushing to start in what is the first England game at Old Trafford since 2007.
Trent Alexander-Arnold will want to continue in midfield ahead of Kalvin Phillips or Conor Gallagher after his man-of-the match display in Malta, though Phillips may well get the nod instead. West Ham captain Declan Rice is also hoping to start.
Predicted England XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Phillips, Rice, Henderson; Saka, Kane, Rashford.
