Team news for England's friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina has been 'leaked' ahead of tonight's clash.

England have two games before they begin their Euro 2024 campaign this summer.

The Three Lions face Bosnia at St James' Park tonight then meet Iceland at Wembley Stadium on Friday.

And Gareth Southgate is set to field an experimental side against Bosnia as he continues his preparations for the tournament in Germany.

According to The Daily Mail, Southgate is set to play Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi and Brighton's Lewis Dunk at centre-back amid Harry Maguire's fitness issues.

Guehi is in line to play alongside John Stones in their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia if the Manchester United defender isn't fully fit to start.

Luke Shaw isn't ready, but Southgate has provided an update on his only specialised left-back.

Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier will captain the team.

The report also claims Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold could feature in the starting XI, but in midfield rather than at right-back.

He's been listed as a midfielder in Southgate's squad.

Chelsea duo Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer as well as Crystal Palace ace Ebe Eze are also pushing for starts.

With Harry Kane to start on the bench, Ollie Watkins or Ivan Toney will lead the line as they will be look to impress ahead of Euro 2024.

Stones and Bukayo Saka will sit out against Bosnia despite training on Sunday.

"John has reported a bit later so hasn't worked with us, he will follow an individual programme," said Southgate.

"Bukayo is fine, he will be rested tomorrow and should be available by Friday."

On Maguire, Shaw and Anthony Gordon, the 53-year-old added: "All are progressing well.

"We are pleased with the progress they've made, none of them will be involved tomorrow.

"Gordon has a chance to be available for Friday. The other two are more unlikely, let's see how far they can go."
