Czechia and England have named their starting teams for their Nations League Matchday 2 meeting at Prague’s Fortuna Arena on Tuesday.
The hosts lost their first match under new head coach Santi Denia on Saturday, equalising through Adam Karabec’s 54th-minute goal in a 2-1 defeat at home to Croatia.
Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane turned the scoreline around as England took a 2-1 lead at home to reigning world champions Spain, only to lose 3-2.
The opening matches in the Nations League were the first for either country since Czechia exited the World Cup in the group stage and England finished third.
