England fans demand Gareth Southgate makes key change to starting XI after footage from latest training session emerges

England fans have told Gareth Southgate to make one key change to his team ahead of the clash against Denmark.

On Sunday, the Three Lions started their Euro 2024 campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Serbia, with Jude Bellingham scoring the winner in the 13th minute.

After the match, Manchester City star Phil Foden was one of several England stars who were criticised after a below-par performance in Gelsenkirchen.

England will resume their quest for Euro 2024 glory on Thursday evening when they travel to the Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt to take on Denmark.

Ahead of the match, England fans have demanded Southgate start Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins after a video of him in training was posted on social media.

Reacting to the footage, one fan said: “Start Ollie Watkins, His rapid and great finisher.”

Another tweeted: “Would love for him to start vs Denmark. Might catch them off guard as their probably expecting Kane.”

A third fan added: “But won’t get any minutes as Kane will never get subbed off while he hasn’t scored a goal yet or it’s a close game!!.”

Someone else wrote: “Give the guy a chance then!!!!”

A fifth commented: “Olly is more than capable but he needs service, same as any centre forward. Harry Kane often has to come deep to get into the game.”

Another fan said: “Watkins off the left will help that early press massively and be a great outlet for Kane to find.”

Speaking recently, Watkins said: “Mindset is huge. You train every day physically and you can be really good technically, but it takes a lot.

“As a striker, you might not score for three games and then there'll be self-doubt creeping in, in previous seasons.”

The 28-year-old continued: “Now I'll be calm because I know I'm going to get opportunities and then I'll back myself to score - whereas before I might have been down on myself a bit more.

“I had a really good year, got the most assists in the league, scored a lot of goals and people still weren't including me in their squads to come to the Euros.

“Everyone has their own opinion, but I don't feel like I have that big profile where I'm talked about. Or where if I was left out of the squad, people would be like: 'Oh, I can't believe they didn't pick Ollie Watkins.' I'm happy I'm here now.”
