Mason Mount will make his 62nd appearance of the season against Italy at Molineux as England go in search of their first win in this Nations League campaign.
The Chelsea midfielder proved to be key for Thomas Tuchel this season as he racked up more goal contributions than anyone else at Stamford Bridge with 13 strikes and 16 assists. Mount has proven to be as key for Gareth Southgate with the ability to play in central midfield, as a No.10 or as part of three-man attack in support of Harry Kane.
On this occasion the striker has been rested as Tammy Abraham starts, but the Three Lions persist with Mount off the back of the busiest season of his career having played in six separate competitions in club football in addition to the international schedule. The Cobham product started in defeat to Hungary and the draw with Germany but failed to set the pitch alight, with some believing that signs of fatigue were showing from a lengthy 2021/22.
