Mason Mount will keep his place in the England team for tonight’s semi final against Denmark, according to David Ornstein of the Athletic.
Ornstein has been spot on with news from the England camp so far in this tournament, which has seen a particularly leaky group – not that it’s hurt their amazing success so far.
🚨 England expected to make one change for tonight’s #EURO2020 SF v Denmark — Bukayo Saka set to regain starting place from Jadon Sancho on right of #ENG attack. Saka fit after minor ankle issue. Suggests a 4-2-3-1 but versatile @TheAthleticUK #ENGDEN #DEN https://t.co/X9EnBW9NND

Chelsea fans will be delighted to have their golden boy back in the Three Lions team to give them someone to really back. He missed out after his coronavirus quarantine, but his excellent showing against Ukraine in the quarter finals has clearly convinced Gareth Southgate that sticking with a 433 with Mount in the mix is the way forward.
Andreas Christensen’s Denmark stand between Mount and the final – it will be great to see the two Cobham products facing off after so many years on the same side.
May the best man – or the best team – win.
