England vs Bosnia-Herzegovina team news
Jude Bellingham will not feature for England, due to his involvement in the Champions League final on Saturday, and Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire are set to miss out as they continue to battle injury issues.
Anthony Gordon, John Stones and Bukayo Saka are also absent.
Crystal Palace duo Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze will hope to get their chance to impress, while it will be interesting to see if Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins play, with it unlikely that both will be picked for the final Euro 2024 squad.
Kieran Trippier is likely to fill in at left-back with Shaw out, and Marc Guehi and Lewis Dunk are expected to start at centre-back.
Bosnia have Edin Dzeko in their squad but former Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac is out injured.
England vs Bosnia-Herzegovina prediction
Southgate can be expected to name a strong side, with the tournament now just a couple of weeks away and only 180 minutes of football to finalise preparations.
England were not entirely convincing in the last international break, against Brazil and Belgium, but this is an obvious step down in opposition and it should be a comfortable night for the hosts in Newcastle.
England to win, 2-0.
