Konsa comes in as England set to switch formation for Swiss Euros clash

England manager Gareth Southgate made just one change to his side for Saturday's Euro 2024 quarterfinal against Switzerland but is expected to switch formation in Duesseldorf.

Ezri Konsa replaces the suspended Marc Guehi, but the Aston Villa defender is set to slot into a back three alongside John Stones and Kyle Walker.

If that is the case, Bukayo Saka will switch to left wing-back and Kieran Tripper will be restored to his natural role on the right flank.

The change in system allows both Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham to play from the central midfield roles they thrived in for Manchester City and Real Madrid respectively last season.

Switzerland are unchanged from the side that beat Italy 2-0 in the last 16.

Murat Yakin's side are aiming to reach the semifinals of a major tournament for the first time in Swiss history.

England: Jordan Pickford; Kyle Walker, Ezri Konsa, John Stones, Kieran Trippier; Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo; Bukayo Saka, Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Harry Kane (c).

Switzerland: Yann Sommer; Fabian Schaer, Manuel Akanji, Ricardo Rodriguez; Fabian Rieder, Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka (c), Michel Aebischer; Ruben Vargas, Dan Ndoye; Breel Embolo
