England vs. Switzerland expected lineups, starting 11, team news: Bellingham cleared to play in Euro 2024 quarterfinal

England face Switzerland in their Euro 2024 quarterfinal clash, with a spot in the final four of the tournament up for grabs.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions narrowly advanced past Slovakia in the Round of 16 with a dramatic 2-1 win in extra time, thanks to Jude Bellingham's spectacular overhead goal and Harry Kane's decisive header.

Switzerland, meanwhile, arrive at this stage after eliminating defending champions Italy in a confident display. This encounter marks the fourth meeting between England and Switzerland at a major tournament, with England holding a historical edge, having won two and drawn one of their previous encounters.

England will miss the services of Marc Guehi due to suspension, prompting a defensive reshuffle. Possible replacements include Ezri Konsa or Lewis Dunk, with Southgate possibly opting for a three-man defensive setup.

Kieran Trippier's fitness remains uncertain, potentially opening the door for Luke Shaw's return, but there has been positive news for England over the status of star midfielder Bellingham, after the Real Madrid man was cleared to play having been subject to a UEFA investigation.
