Euro 2024 is now in the quarter-final stage and England is still in the competition. They were very close to being eliminated in the previous round and have not performed as well as expected in the tournament so far.
In a thrilling match against Slovakia, an incredible overhead kick from Jude Bellingham helped the Three Lions secure a victory. Harry Kane's header in extra time sealed the win, allowing them to advance in the tournament. Despite only winning one of their three group stage games, the team still managed to finish at the top of their group.
The team will need to make changes in order to improve, and there is still the issue of Bellingham potentially facing a suspension for his inappropriate gestures, which were investigated by Uefa.
Next, England will play against Switzerland, who performed well in Group A, coming in second place behind Germany. They then beat Italy in the round of 16, a team that did not perform well in the tournament. It is clear that Gareth Southgate's team will need to step up their game significantly in order to advance further in the competition.
Here's all the information you should be aware of before the game starts.

What is the latest update on the team's status?
Marc Guehi is not allowed to play, so England will have to change their defense for the first time in the tournament. Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, and Ezri Konsa are the possible choices, with Konsa likely to be first in line since he has already played, even if only as a substitute at left-back. However, there may also need to be a change at left-back after Kieran Trippier got injured in the last game and Luke Shaw is not yet ready to play according to the coach. Gomez or Konsa could play there instead, but another option is for Kyle Walker to move over and Trent Alexander-Arnold to play on the right if Trippier doesn't come back.
Switzerland easily defeated Italy without any new injury worries or players receiving yellow cards. Silvan Widmer has returned to the team after serving a suspension. Denis Zakaria continues to be sidelined due to current fitness problems and has yet to play in the tournament.
ENG - Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Stones, Konsa, Walker, Rice, Mainoo, Palmer, Bellingham, Foden, and Kane
Summer means heat, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez, Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Aebischer, Vargas, Ndoye, Embolo
Without a significant change in speed or strategy, it's difficult to see any specific moments changing the strong teamwork of the Swiss team, especially when it comes to their offensive play. The final score was England 1 and Switzerland 2.
