England and Wales will battle in a friendly at Wembley Stadium on Thursday.
Both sides have dealt with plenty of roster news in recent days.
The Three Lions will be without Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho after they broke COVID-19 rules to celebrate Abraham's birthday on Saturday. Footage circulated on social media of the three players attending the surprise party at Abraham's house with his family and friends in attendance. The party breached the "rule of six" established by British prime minister Boris Johnson that forbids gatherings of more than six people to help contain the spread of the virus.
Manager Gareth Southgate also left Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood out for three more matches after they were caught breaking the team's bubble rules in Iceland last month. However, captain Harry Maguire was recalled to the squad last Thursday after being dropped from last month’s matches following his arrest in Greece.
Following Thursday's friendly, England will also face Belgium and Denmark at Wembley Stadium in Nations League clashes.
