Now SunSport can reveal to you that we understand Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate will resist calls to pick Luke Shaw at left-back.

That is despite the Manchester United left-back replacing Trippier off the bench in the semi-final win over the Netherlands.

Trippier was withdrawn at half-time of the game in Dortmund due to a precaution following a recent groin injury, but is fit enough to start the Berlin showpiece.

 It means that Southgate will pick an unchanged team from Wednesday.

Manchester City duo Kyle Walker, John Stones and Marc Guehi once again expected to start in the back-three.

Bukayo Saka will remain on the right with Kobbie Mainoo and Declan Rice starting together in midfield for the fourth game running.

Southgate is also set to stick with Harry Kane despite his recent struggles.

And the captain will be supported by Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden in attack.

But semi-final matchwinner Ollie Watkins and Cole Palmer, who assisted the Aston Villa striker’s injury-time strike, will have to settle for a place on the bench despite their heroics in Dortmund.

Shaw, who scored in the last European Championship final against Italy, and Trippier both played half the game each in the semi-final victory over Holland.

Trippier has been nursing a calf strain and Shaw is yet to play over 45 minutes at the tournament so far having only returned from his long injury lay-off in the quarters against Switzerland.

England’s stars were put through their paces for the last time ahead of the final earlier.

The Three Lions are hoping to end their 58-year wait for glory against Spain.

But all 26 members of the squad were in full training at their luxury base in Blankenhain.

England will leave Blankenhain and head to Berlin at 3:30pm.

They are set to travel to the German capital by coach – not plane – and are expected to arrive in Berlin at 6:30pm.

Southgate and skipper Kane are due to speak to the media at a press conference at 7:45pm.

Meanwhile, England fans are already flooding Berlin ahead of the final.

And over 50,000 Three Lions supporters are predicted to fill the 71,000 Olympiastadion.

Meanwhile, Spain’s birthday boy Lamine Yamal vowed to go straight at either Shaw or Trippier from the off.

The winger, who turned 17 today, has broken record after record this season.

Now he wants to cap it with just one more – the youngest player to ever win either a European Championship or World Cup.

The Barcelona star is composed but confident – and plays with a simple philosophy, one that Shaw or Trippier must watch out for if they get the nod from Gareth Southgate to start.

Yamal, speaking the day on Friday on the day prior to his 17th birthday, said of facing up a full-back: “The first move conditions the game a lot. If I go past them, it’s there for the match.

“I always think that it’s the full back who has pressure. If I go past him, I’m touching the goal.

“I receive the ball, if I have a one-on-one, I always go for the full back because it’s a very psychological game and if I go for him, he is scared and then I can go for him more and I improvise.

“They have respect, the full backs don’t go into me much. They try to hold off.

“How am I treated? As a normal player. Opponents especially, I don’t think they will not foul me because I’m 16.”
