Gareth Southgate's England could be without a key player for their game against Denmark.

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw is likely to miss England's match against Denmark on Thursday, contrary to Gareth Southgate's earlier expectations.

The 28-year-old has not played since February due to a hamstring injury suffered against Luton Town, but Southgate had hoped to have his best left-back available for this crucial tie.

With Shaw likely to be unavailable, Kieran Tripper is expected to continue at left-back against Denmark.

Victory for the Three Lions could give them an easy pathway to finishing top of the group, depending on the result in the other group game between Serbia and Slovenia.
