With the biggest fixture since the World Cup looming it was announced that Harry Kane will start along side Rooney tonight. Carry on reading for more information about this and a prediction for tonight's game against Italy.
Can England stars play for the U21 squad?
This is the question currently being asked by the manager of the England under 21 team. It has been leaked that some of the Premier League teams are planning on banning their players from attending the Euro's for the under 21 team such as the
The legend, Gary Lineker agrees with this as he tweeted, ' If clubs try to pull their players out, it would be a national disgrace'. If they do it would be a real disappointment because with as solid performance against Germany and a few extra senior players this team would have a really good chance of going to the Czech Republic and winning.
The last player that could play for them would be Sterling but the manager of the U21 side has admitted that "Realistically, Raheem has become a very important player for the senior team and for Liverpool," and Southgate said, "I'm not convinced another tournament in the summer would be right for him." Lineker says he is "baffled" by the stance Premier League clubs have towards the international game and believes a successful national side would have a "massively positive impact" on English football's top flight.
Tonight's predictions
Tonight I am going to predict a 3-1 win to England as I saw the recent result of a hard fought draw of Italy's last game. Kane will score 1, Rooney 1 and Delph 1, if they all start. Good luck to England and I do expect a win from them. Kane should start this game as he wishes to go on in his England career.
