team notes: |
Harry Kane will probably become England's record appearance holder,
breaking the record held since 1990 by Peter Shilton.
The Bellingham's can become the 22nd set of brothers to play for
England. If they play at the same time, the first since Gary and Phil
Neville in February 2007, they will be the eleventh to do so. |
|
youth notes: |
England and
Croatia have met several times in
youth level matches
featuring the participating players.
They have met twice in
under-16 fixtures both in July 2018. The first was captained by Jude
Bellingham, the second had Jarell Quansah in the starting line-up.
Morgan Gibbs-White started for the under-17s in September 2016, when
Marc Guéhi was a substitute. Morgan Rogers started and James
Trafford was a substitute in the March 2019
meeting. Myles Lewis-Skelly started the Euro Finals match in May 2023.
Josh King started the November 2023 qualifier.
Jobe Bellingham was

Harry Kane started for the under-19s in their Euro Finals match in
July 2012, whereas Lewis-Skelly was a substitute in the September 2024
friendly.
