The Three Lions kick off at 5pm at Laugardalsvöllur and the Leeds United man has to be content with a place on the bench for his first call up.

Manchester City youngster Phil Foden starts for his country for the first time. The full line-up is as follows: Pickford, Trippier, Walker, Gomez, Dier, Ward Prowse, Rice, Foden, Sterling, Sancho, Kane. Subs: Alexander-Arnold, Pope, Mings, Keane, Grealish, Mount, Maitland-Miles, Coady, Phillips, Ings, Henderson, Greenwood.

Leeds, without Phillips and a host of others, won today's friendly at Thorp Arch against Portuguese top flight side Paços de Ferreira.

A Pascal Struijk header cancelled out the visitors' opener, before a Pablo Hernandez wondergoal and Helder Costa's neat finish gave Marcelo Bielsa's men a comfortable win, seven days before their Premier League debut at Anfield against Liverpool.
