St. James’ Park will be packed when England and Bosnia & Herzegovina lock horns in a friendly on Monday evening. The Three Lions have big ambitions for the upcoming European Championship finals and they surely want to impress in warm-up games. All Ben White, Marcus Rashford, and Jordan Henderson have been omitted, while Real Madrid ace Jude Bellingham should be rested after taking part in the Champions League final at the weekend.
The Balkan Dragons, on the other hand, continue relying on experienced Fenerbahce attacker Edin Dzeko, who made the cut. New boss Sergej Barbarez should rest injured duo Rade Krunic – Amar Dedic, but regardless of which players will be deployed in the starting XI, home win should be considered. As David faces Goliath in Newcastle, anything but a routine win would be a big surprise. It has to be noted that the two national teams meet for the first time ever.
