Harry Kane is set to return to England's starting XI for the Nations League match against Ireland at Wembley this weekend.

England are in pole position to win the group after beating Greece 3-0 on Thursday, while Ireland are also coming off a win, as Evan Ferguson scored the only goal of the game a few days ago as they beat Finland 1-0.

Here's how the squads are shaping up.

England Team News

A huge number of key players withdrew from the England squad prior to the first match, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill and Aaron Ramsdale all missing.

There is a fresh injury from the Greece match, as Ezri Konsa was forced off with a knock, which will mean a first start for either Jarell Quansah or Taylor Harwood-Bellis.

Kane was only a substitute on Thursday, but Lee Carsley has confirmed that he will start against Ireland.

Morgan Rogers and Jarrod Bowen are options on the wing and could replace Anthony Gordon and Noni Madueke.

Ireland have a couple of fresh selection concerns. Jason Knight will need to be replaced as he is suspended following his booking against Finland, while Festy Ebosele limped off with an injury in that one.
