Artem Besedin got injured severely in the knee in the game against Sweden. Along with him, Denys Popov is not a part of the squad as well. Also, the presence of Andriy Yarmolenko and Oleksandr Zubkov is uncertain. Ukraine might have won the previous matches but their impression is not long-lasting.

England:
England is a very strong and skillful team in the tournament. They are a bit out of form but they will surely overcome everything and give their best to reach the semifinals tomorrow.

England’s possible starting lineup:
Jordan Pickford, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Kalvin Phillips, Jordan Henderson, Mason Mount, Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Jack Grealish
