England go into Saturday's Euro 2024 meeting with Switzerland with a heavily rumoured change of tactics for the quarter-final tie.
Gareth Southgate is said to be favouring a switch to three at the back with Marc Guehi suspended, deploying Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bukayo Saka as wing-backs in the starting line-up.
However, speaking to Poker Sites, former Three Lions forward Teddy Sheringham has expressed his concerns over moving Saka from right-wing to a more defensive position.
“I don’t think Bukayo Saka looked comfortable at left-back against Slovakia compared to how he was faring on the wing,” he said.
“He’s not exactly going to say to Gareth Southgate that he doesn’t want to play there or left wing-back if he gets asked to, but it’s not his ideal position.
“This England team have been guilty of putting square pegs in round holes this tournament, like what they did with Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield. You can’t keep trying these things and expect to get away with it against the top teams.
"Saka has not been firing on all cylinders yet throughout the tournament, but he’s still a very good player and it’s close between him and Cole Palmer over who should play on the right-hand side of the attack.”
