Jadon Sancho named for England versus Ukraine, Kalvin Phillips and Harry Maguire keep their places

Jadon Sancho will make his first start of the European Championship for England against Ukraine this evening.

The new Manchester United signing had only played seven minutes so far in the competition, but he has been selected ahead of Bukayo Saka as manager Gareth Southgate reverts to the 4-2-3-1 formation that served the Three Lions well in the group stage.

Saka, who picked up a knock in training on Friday, does not make the bench, along with Reece James and former Leeds United loanee Ben White.

Mason Mount plays his first football since being forced into isolation by coming into contact with Scotland's Billy Gilmour on June 18. He replaces former Barnsley loanee Kieran Trippier.
