England's Ashley Young and Kyle Walker have both recovered from minor injury concerns to be included in the side’s unchanged starting line-up to face Sweden in their World Cup quarter-final on Saturday in Samara.

England's Jordan Henderson‚ Jesse Lingard‚ Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Walker are all one booking away from missing a potential semi-final‚ while Albin Ekdal and Viktor Claesson are in the same boat for Sweden.
