Netherlands v England team news: Guehi + Malen come in

Wednesday night brings the second lot of European Championship semi-final team news, this time from the Netherlands and England. It kicks off at 20:00 BST in Dortmund.

With a final versus Spain up for grabs, which historical clash between these nations will it honour: England’s glorious 4-1 masterclass at Euro 96, or Ronald Koeman controversially breaking hearts in the World Cup 1994 qualifier?

Then again, based on Gareth Southgate’s side so far, maybe it’ll be more like Italia 90’s goalless draw!

Both sides make just one change from their weekend wins. For England, Marc Guehi (€4.7m) returns from suspension to replace Ezri Konsa (€4.4m) in the back three. That means there’s still no Luke Shaw (€5.0m) start.

Highly-selected assets Jude Bellingham (€9.5m), Virgil van Dijk (€6.0m), Harry Kane (€11.0m), Cody Gakpo (€7.8m) and Jordan Pickford (€5.0m) all feature in the line-ups.

Dutch attacker Steven Bergwijn (€6.9m) was substituted at half-time against both Romania and Turkey. So it’s no surprise to now see him completely step aside for Donyall Malen (€6.9m).

Wout Weghorst (€6.4m) will have to make his impact from the bench, again.

TEAM NEWS

Netherlands XI – Verbruggen; Dumfries, van Dijk, de Vrij, Ake; Reijnders, Schouten, Simons; Malen, Gakpo, Depay

England XI – Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi; Saka, Rice, Mainoo, Trippier; Bellingham, Foden, Kane

      Literally a foul anywhere and everywhere on the pitch. Raised foot, lots of contact, no touch on the ball.

        Agree - he pushed out slightly, missed the ball and caught Kane's foot just after he got his shot away.

        He raised his foot because that's where the ball was.
        The only reason there's contact is because Kane slams his foot into the defender.
        Football is a contact sport, and if the striker is allowed to have a shot, the defender is allowed to challenge to block it.

        Even the ITV and Christina Uncle was totally surprised by the decision.....

    How var has spoilt football. At start i thought it will help. Maybe in some cases it does but wasn't point of var to only overturn clear and obvious errors?
    Instead it slow motions frame by frame to spoil football. Kane and none of England even appealed for a penalty. Kane just sit in the ground till var had enough time to think and examine. Must be learning these tricks from Bellingham from real Madrid

      Also what a joke that cucurella handball is not a penalty vs Germany..it clearly was a penalty but not given. But the Denmark handball vs Germany was never a penalty but given. At same time schlotterbeck goal was completed valid but ruled out
      What a joke var is. Just pathetic.
