England narrowly defeated Andorra 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier last Saturday and is now preparing for a friendly matchup against Senegal at the City Ground in Nottingham this week.
This victory maintained England’s perfect record in their qualifying group, achieving three wins out of three, though their performance in Barcelona left something to be desired. Manager Thomas Tuchel will be looking for a strong showing against a much tougher Senegal side.
On the other hand, Senegal comes into this game with great confidence. They drew 1-1 with the Republic of Ireland on Friday, extending their unbeaten streak to 13 matches, indicating that they will not simply be participating for the sake of it.

Projected Lineups and Team Updates
Thomas Tuchel is anticipated to make several changes for Tuesday’s match, providing opportunities for new players in Nottingham. However, captain Harry Kane, who scored the vital goal against Andorra, is expected to keep his place, along with Noni Madueke, one of the few bright spots in an otherwise lackluster performance.
Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ivan Toney, and Trevoh Chalobah all have a chance to start as well, eager to prove themselves. Notably, Ollie Watkins will miss out due to a minor injury sustained just before the Andorra match.
Expected England XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Henderson (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Chalobah, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly — Bellingham, Rice — Madueke, Eze, Gordon — Kane.
Injured: Declan Rice, Eberechi Eze, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ivan Toney, Trevoh Chalobah.
Suspended: None.
Meanwhile, Senegal’s head coach Pape Thiaw is likely to make adjustments as well, bringing back several key players. Nicolas Jackson, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Idrissa Gueye—who were rested for the draw against Ireland—are expected to return to the starting lineup.
Ismaila Sarr, who scored the equalizer against Ireland from the bench, is also set for a starting role as he continues to assert his impact. However, the national team will be without their star player Sadio Mane, who has declined to participate in this international window.
Expected Senegal XI (4-3-3, right to left): Mendy (GK) — Mendy, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Jakobs — Sarr, Gueye, Camara — Diatta, Ndiaye, Jackson.
Injured: Ilyas Chouaref.
Suspended: None.
