England v Bosnia & Herzegovina: Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier captains Gareth Southgate’s side at St James’ Park.

Newcastle United right-back Kieran Trippier captains England for the second time in the Euro 2024 warm-up match against Bosnia & Herzegovina at St James’ Park.

Anthony Gordon is in the stadium but not part of the matchday squad as he recovers from an ankle injury. The Magpies winger is expected to be back involved for the friendly against Iceland at Wembley Stadium on June 7 as he looks to secure his spot on the plane to Germany.
