The England team v Croatia has been announced.
A 5pm kick-off on Saturday.
The Stadion HNK Rijeka hosting this Nations League match.
If you are wondering why there is such a small crowd that is made up almost entirely of kids….
Due to repeated misbehaviour by Croatian football fans they are banned today, the only exception is that up to 6,000 schoolchildren have been let in for free. Whilst only 100 England fans allowed to get in to see the match in person.
Thomas Tuchel and England looking to follow up their win away against the Czech Republic. That 2-0 victory followed a 3-2 home defeat to Spain.
So this is the England team v Croatia that has been named just over an hour before kick-off:
Pickford, Quansah, Konsa, Guehi, Hall, Anderson, Scott, Bellingham, Saka, Gordon, Kane.
Substitutes:
Steele, Trafford, Alexander-Arnold, Garner, Branthwaite, Calvert-Lewin, Chalobah, Eze, Gibbs-White, Rogers, Ngumoha, Lewis-Skelly
So it is Croatia v England at 5pm today, then finally, it is England v Czech Republic at 7.45pm on Tuesday 6 October.
Instead of having three international breaks each for a fortnight in September, October and November, the football authorities have combined the September and October 2026 ones into just one that lasts three weeks. The November 2026 break remains the same, lasting two weeks.
