Luke Shaw was handed his first start since February as England manager Gareth Southgate made just one change for Sunday’s Euro 2024 final against Spain in Berlin.
The Manchester United left-back has only recently returned to fitness after a long spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury but has appeared as a substitute in the quarter and semi-finals.
Shaw replaces Kieran Tripper and has the unenviable task of stopping Spain’s teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
The Barcelona winger, who turned 17 yesterday, became the youngest player to ever score at a Euros in La Roja’s 2-1 semi-final win over France.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente makes two changes as Robin Le Normand and Dani Carvajal return from suspension in place of Nacho and Jesus Navas.
