England

England conclude their extended international window against Czechia after an emphatic 7-0 victory over Croatia. Thomas Tuchel is expected to make changes again. Ezri Konsa and Alex Scott are unavailable after leaving the squad through injury, while Rico Lewis has been added as another defensive option.

Jordan Pickford is expected to continue in goal and Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to return at right-back. Myles Lewis-Skelly is the obvious candidate to replace Scott in midfield. Bukayo Saka and Morgan Rogers remain important attacking options. Harry Kane could win his 125th cap if he features, although a rest for the captain remains possible after starting all three Nations League matches so far.

Czechia

Czechia travel to Wembley with major selection problems. Captain Ladislav Krejčí is suspended following his red card against Spain, while Štěpán Chaloupek has left the camp with a muscle injury. Midfielder Lukáš Červ has also been ruled out through injury.

Robin Hranáč is therefore expected to return in central defence, with Martin Vitík the leading candidate to partner him. Head coach Santi Denia has yet to settle on a clear first-choice goalkeeper. Ryan Naderi could make his first senior start in attack after coming off the bench against Spain, with Adam Hložek and the returning Pavel Šulc providing further attacking options.
