Marcus Rashford will NOT feature in England’s World Cup round of 16 clash with Senegal, and was replaced by Bukayo Saka on a surprising call-up from Gareth Southgate, but Phil Foden keeps his place.
Bukayo Saka is back in England’s starting line-up in place of Marcus Rashford for the World Cup last-16 clash against Senegal.
Arsenal winger Saka was on the bench for the win against Wales but starts as England look to reach the quarter-final.
Saka scored a brace as England began their World Cup campaign with a 6-2 win against Iran and also featured early on in a goalless draw with the United States.

England boss Southgate faced some incredibly tough decisions before naming his squad for this fixture.
The extensive options available to Southgate, including Saka, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish, are evidence of the strength in depth England have in that area of the pitch.
In midfield there are also plenty of options available to Southgate, including Declan Rice, Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount and James Maddison.
Maddison, Conor Gallagher and Conor Coady are the only outfield players who have not played a single minute for England in the tournament so far.
Ben White has returned to England for a personal problem.
