Ex-England international Paul Parker says Gareth Southgate should drop Luke Shaw and start both Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker against Senegal on Sunday.
Walker started in England's 3-0 victory over Wales on Tuesday and played 57 minutes in his first appearance since sustaining a groin injury against Manchester United in October.
Trippier started the opening two games against Iran and USA respectively, but was named on the bench against the Dragons.
He did replace Shaw midway into the second half and Parker believes Southgate should start Trippier over the Manchester United left-back in the Round of 16.

“Kyle Walker should always be in England´s starting lineup. No one can match his pace and his amazing ability to defend. He can neutralise the best players in the world, even Kylian Mbappé," Parker revealed in an interview with BonusCodeBets.
“But I wouldn’t say that Kieran Trippier shouldn’t be in the starting line-up. I think he should play as a left back instead of Luke Shaw.
"Trippier has got a lot to offer on set pieces and he is not a bad defender. I would say that Walker and Trippier should be the starting full-backs.”
