England vs Switzerland in quarter-final
There might be a major concern for the Three Lions on the road ahead as they will be without defender Marc Guehi for the quarter-final due to suspension. Their manager Gareth Southgate will be forced into a change with Guehi and may also find some other changes to bring in. The victory over Slovakia has booked England a quarter-final clash against Switzerland who come into the game after upsetting Euro 2020 winners Italy with a well-deserved 2-0 win. The match will be played in Dusseldorf on Saturday.
