"The 22-year-old Nottingham Forest player will make his senior international debut alongside Declan Rice in England's midfield. They have a little in common, as Rice previously played three in three internationals for the Republic of Ireland before switching his allegiances to the Three Lions, while Anderson accepted an invitation from Steve Clarke to join a senior Scotland squad before thinking better of it, dropping out and deciding that his is an English heart."
"Elliot anderson will make his England debut this evening. Photograph: Eddie Keogh/The FA/Getty Images Share Early England team news: John Stones left the squad yesterday with a muscle injury but the 24 players he left behind are all fighting fit. So much so, that Jarell Quansah was left out of the matchday squad this morning because Thomas Tuchel can only name a 23-man squad for this match."
"Tuchel announced yesterday that Harry Kane will definitely be starting up front for England tonight and is expected to field an extremely strong side, albeit in the absence through injury of Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, Adam Wharton and Bukayo Saka. Elliot Anderson and Djed Spence received their first senior England call-ups from Tuchel and one or both players could make their international debuts tonight."
Elliot Anderson will make his senior England debut alongside Declan Rice in midfield. Rice previously played three internationals for the Republic of Ireland before switching allegiance to England, while Anderson briefly accepted a Scotland call-up before withdrawing and choosing England. Dan Burn and Marc Guehi will pair in central defence, with Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back and Eberechi Eze in the No10 role. John Stones withdrew with a muscle injury, leaving 24 fit players, and Jarell Quansah was omitted because only 23 can be named. Harry Kane will start, and several key players are absent through injury.
