England manager Gareth Southgate has a number of issues to address with his side heading into Saturday's Euro 2024 quarter-final against Switzerland.

England scraped through to the last eight of the tournament with an unconvincing win over Slovakia on Sunday.

The Three Lions needed a last-gasp equaliser from Jude Bellingham to avoid one of the most embarrassing results in English football history, with Harry Kane scoring in extra time to secure a nervy 2-1 win for Southgate's side.

England could be without Bellingham against Switzerland, with the midfielder currently being investigated by UEFA over his goal celebration against Slovakia.

England defender Marc Guehi, meanwhile, is suspended for the match after picking up two bookings so far at the Euros.

There are also questions over his defensive partner John Stones' availability, with the Manchester City star spotted wearing heavy strapping to his right knee in training.

Kieran Trippier was withdrawn against Slovakia after previously struggling with a knee problem, leading to suggestions Luke Shaw could start at left-back against Switzerland.

But Sky Sports News reporter Rob Dorsett believes Trippier is likely to start for England this weekend after watching England train on Wednesday.

Speaking about Shaw, Dorsett said: "He's been out on the grass with England for the last few sessions now. He told a couple of reporters as he walked through the mixed area that he thinks he's good to play in the next game.

"The plan was from Gareth Southgate to try and get 10 or 15 minutes out of him in the last 16 game but the circumstances of the game meant that wasn't possible at all.

"Is it possible that he could start at left-back? With Kieran Trippier out there training, I very much doubt it. I think Southgate will revert to Plan A and try and get Luke Shaw out on the pitch at some point if England are winning it comfortably.

"But there are absolutely no guarantees about that with the form that they've been in at the tournament so far. It might be difficult for Shaw to come on at left-back."
