England projected starting lineup vs. Spain: Where will Bellingham play?
England manager Thomas Tuchel felt he had a robust squad but has seen the team hit by withdrawals that may complicate his selections against Spain.
England manager Thomas Tuchel faces a challenging task as England prepares to face Spain in a UEFA Nations League match. The squad Tuchel has called up is missing several key players due to injury concerns, including Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, and Tino Livramento. This has left Tuchel with questions about his starting lineup, particularly the positions of right back and midfield.
The battle for right back minutes is expected to be intense between Jarell Quansah and Trent Alexander Arnold, while Jude Bellingham's role remains uncertain. Will he play as a right-back or be pushed forward as a playmaker alongside Elliot Anderson? England's expected lineup includes Jordan Pickford in goal, with defenders Jarell Quansah, Ezri Konsa, Marc Guéhi, and Nico Reilly.
In midfield, Elliot Anderson and Jude Bellingham are likely to feature, with Bukayo Saka, Morgan Rogers, and Anthony Gordon set to play as wingers and playmaker. Harry Kane is expected to start in attack.
