Gareth Southgate’s England squad has been announced.
England have named their starting line up for their round of 16 World Cup game against Colombia this evening. Southgate’s side come into the crucial game against the South Americans after a 1-0 defeat in their final group game against Belgium, in a match which saw both countries name weakened teams.
Ahead of the game, Southgate has announced the same side which defeated Tunisia in the country’s opening World Cup game, with Harry Kane starting up front and Raheem Sterling partnering him.
