According to L'Équipe, Thomas Tuchel has reshaped England's defence and handed Morgan Rogers a start ahead of Jude Bellingham for the Nations League match in Czechia on Tuesday at 20:45.

Three days after the 2-3 defeat to Spain, Jarell Quansah, Ezri Konsa and Nico O'Reilly drop to the bench. They are replaced by Trent Alexander-Arnold, making his first international start since October 2024, Trevoh Chalobah and Lewis Hall.

Beyond the back line, the only change is Rogers for Bellingham. Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane and Rogers form the front three from kick-off.

England line-up: Trafford - Alexander-Arnold, Chalobah, Guéhi, Hall - Anderson, Lewis-Skelly - Saka, Rogers, Gordon - Kane (cap.).

Czechia make four changes from the XI that began against Croatia, a 1-2 defeat, on Saturday. Lyon's Pavel Sulc starts, as does his former OL team-mate Adam Karabec.

Czechia line-up: Kovar - Chaloupek, Hranac, Krejci (cap.), Slama - Cerv, Sadilek - Sulc - Radosta, Hlozek, Karabec.
