England XI vs Finland: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Nations League

Lee Carsley has shuffled his pack in Finland after his ultra-attacking England team selection backfired against Greece.

Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, Angel Gomes, Marc Guehi and Kyle Walker all come into the team, as the Three Lions eye an emphatic response to that defeat, while Dean Henderson replaces Jordan Pickford in goal.

Carsley fielded five attacking players against Greece and has reverted to a more conventional line-up in Helsinki.

Kane missed Thursday’s shock 2-1 defeat against Greece but leads the line this evening.

Guehi returns at centre-back alongside John Stones, with Walker at right-back and Trent Alexander-Arnold as an inverted left-back.

Gomes partners Declan Rice in midfield and Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham and Grealish line up behind Kane.

Phil Foden, who has started only two consecutive matches for Manchester City this season because of illness and a lack of match fitness, drops to the bench.

Bukayo Saka has left the England camp and returned to Arsenal after suffering an injury in the Greece game.

Saka was substituted in the second half at Wembley and Carsley said the Arsenal star “felt something in his leg”.

Carsley is also without Curtis Jones in Helsinki after the Liverpool midfielder stayed in England owing to a personal commitment.
