Gareth Southgate has made a strategic decision to bring in Ezri Konsa to replace the suspended Marc Guéhi for England's Euro 2024 semifinal clash against Switzerland. The match is set to take place on Saturday in Dusseldorf, and the English team is gearing up for a tough battle.
Despite the change in defense, the rest of England's starting 11 remains unchanged from their previous match against Slovakia, where they secured a hard-fought victory in extra time. Kobbie Mainoo will be partnering with Declan Rice in midfield, while the experienced Harry Kane will once again lead the line for the Three Lions.
On the other side, Switzerland's manager Marat Yakin has opted to stick with the same lineup that delivered a convincing 2-0 win over Italy in the quarterfinals. The Swiss team will be looking to maintain their winning momentum and secure a spot in the final.
The stakes are high in this semifinal showdown, as the winner will advance to face the victor of the Netherlands versus Turkey match later on Saturday. The prospect of reaching the Euro 2024 final is driving both teams to give their all on the pitch and leave nothing to chance.
Meanwhile, in the other semifinal fixture scheduled for Tuesday, France will take on Spain after overcoming Portugal and Germany in the previous rounds, respectively. The stage is set for an intense battle between these European powerhouses as they vie for a spot in the championship match.
As the teams finalize their preparations and tactics, the football world eagerly anticipates the thrilling encounters that await in the Euro 2024 semifinals. With top-quality players on both sides and a place in the final up for grabs, fans can expect nothing short of captivating and competitive matches in the days to come.
