Manchester City’s rising star Rico Lewis is set to make his second senior appearance for England in their upcoming UEFA Nations League match against Finland at Wembley. The 19-year-old full-back is excited about the opportunity, likely to replace Chelsea’s Levi Colwill in the starting lineup. Interim head coach Lee Carsley is considering making a total of three changes to the defense, with John Stones and Ezri Konsa possibly starting over Marc Guehi and Harry Maguire, who played in the previous match against Ireland. Carsley understands the importance of managing his players’ fitness and is planning to rotate the squad to keep them fresh for the upcoming games. He is realistic about the physical demands of international football and wants to ensure his players are ready to perform at their best.
Up-and-coming talent Rico Lewis from Manchester City is set to make his starting debut for England in their upcoming match against Finland at Wembley.
Lee Carsley is set to give Lewis the opportunity to make his second appearance for the England team.
John Stones is set to make a start in defense, taking over Harry Maguire’s spot. The coach had a strategy to ensure the players were well-prepared and ready for the game. This extra training and preparation time will hopefully benefit four or five players in the lineup.
The expected England lineup is as follows: Pickford in goal; Trent, Stones, Konsa, and Lewis in defense; Gomes and Rice in midfield; with Saka, Grealish, and Gordon as attacking midfielders; and Kane as the lone striker.
