Vieira and Pearce both started against Qatar, with Vieira claiming a 53rd-minute goal with a strike from range. Pearce had previously featured as a substitute in England’s opening game against China.

England are attempting to claim the title in Toulon for the third year running while Vieira – a late call-up by coach Aidy Boothroyd – is looking for back-to-back triumphs having sealed England’s penalty shoot-out win over the Ivory Coast in 2017.

Mexico and Turkey contest the other semi-final ahead of this evening’s meeting between England and Scotland. The final takes place in Martegues on Saturday.

Left-back Pearce is expected to formally sign a new three-year contract at Elland Road after his stint of international duty.

His current deal expires at the end of this month but he and Leeds negotiated the terms of an extension prior to the Toulon Tournament.
