was included in Gareth Southgate’s final 26-man England squad for Euro 2024 despite not playing since February as a result of a severe hamstring injury.Southgate decided to take a risk on Shaw as Ben Chilwell’s injury difficulties meant the Chelsea star was not primed to replace the Man Utd star.Newcastle United star Kieran Trippier has been used as a makeshift left-back in his absence. His reliance on his right foot means England have been ineffective on the left flank throughout Euro 2024.
‘The original plan has been to reintroduce Shaw off the bench, but it remains to be seen whether Southgate is prepared to gamble on using the defender from the outset given his importance to the team amid a backdrop of four largely disappointing performances here in Germany so far. ‘It is understood Bukayo Saka has also been looked at as makeshift wing-back for the clash against the Swiss in the event of a system switch.’Former England international Teddy Sheringham has warned Southgate against using Saka in a defensive role as he didn’t “look comfortable” there against Slovakia.
“This England team have been guilty of putting square pegs in round holes this tournament, like what they did with Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield. You can’t keep trying these things and expect to get away with it against the top teams.
