Former Chelsea and England star Ashley Cole has suggested that England head coach Gareth Southgate should consider resting Bukayo Saka and giving Phil Foden a chance on the right wing in their upcoming Euro 2024 match against Slovenia.
Cole made these remarks in anticipation of England's final group-stage game at Euro 2024. England have had a mixed start to the tournament, with one win and one draw in their first two games.
Speaking on beIN SPORTS, Cole expressed his desire to see Anthony Gordon start on the left wing and Phil Foden on the right.
He believes Foden has been unfairly criticized and deserves an opportunity to showcase his skills. Cole sees this as a chance to rest Saka while allowing Foden to prove his worth to the team.
Cole also suggested that Kobbie or Cole Palmer could be given a chance in midfield to bring more energy and ball control to the team. He believes these changes could help England dominate their upcoming matches.
As England prepares to face Slovenia, Southgate will have to consider these suggestions and make strategic decisions to maximize his team's performance in the tournament.
