Robbie Savage has urged Gareth Southgate to play Luke Shaw from the start in England's Euro semi-final against the Netherlands.
The Manchester United full-back came off the bench during the quarter-final win over Switzerland to taste his first minutes at the tournament. However, that was the first time since February that Shaw had seen any action due to injury.
Despite not having many matches under his belt, former Wales midfielder Savage told Planet Sport Bet he'd still start Shaw ahead of Kieran Trippier against the Dutch.
He said: “I’d start Shaw on the left over Kieran Trippier because he’s got minutes under his belt now and he’s been training.
"If Shaw plays against the Netherlands he can push Denzel Dumfries back, because we know Dumfries likes to attack. I thought the 3-4-2-1 formation worked for England against Switzerland, I’d stick with that."
England have underwhelmed thus far in the tournament, but they found a way to win to reach the competition's final four, and Savage is tipping them for victory on Wednesday night.
Adding: “It is going to be a tough test against the Netherlands but I think England will win 2-1, potentially after extra time. Even if it goes to penalties, I’d fancy England to win it because of the quality of their penalty takers.
"You can’t forget that the regular penalty taker, Harry Kane, wasn’t even on the pitch against Switzerland for the penalty shootout and England still won. Even if it went to the sixth or seventh penalty, England have great strength in depth when it comes to spot kicks.”
