Why England are playing at Old Trafford and not Wembley for Euro 2024 clash with North Macedonia

England are back in action despite the Premier League season only ending just weeks ago. With some players having been on their holidays already and others spending time winning the FA Cup and Champions League, one making a major transfer to Real Madrid, Gareth Southgate has a mixed group to work with.

Brighton's Lewis Dunk has been replaced in the squad by his teammate from last season, Levi Colwill. The 20 year-old Chelsea defender won't be making his debut just yet, though. He has been training with the men's squad but is still preparing for the Under-21 European Championships later this summer.

Nevertheless, it is still a strong Three Lions squad that is set to take on Malta and North Macedonia in the coming week. As they travel away for their first match of the Euro 2024 qualifying group they will have to be ready for a seismic change upon their return.
