Luis Enrique’s squad features four Chelsea players, but only one of whom starts: Marcos Alonso. The defender lines up at Wembley alongside the Valencia striker Rodrigo, formerly Bolton team-mates in 2010. Funny old game, eh? Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cesar Azpilicueta and Alvaro Morata make up the Chelsea factor. For England, it’s a big night for Shaw and Gomez to showcase their ability. On the bench, there’s three goalkeepers; Marcus Bettinelli, Alex McCarthy and Jack Butland, the former a late call-up, replacing Lallana.
John Terry, the former England captain, is on the move:
Terry is set to complete a surprise move to Spartak Moscow after reportedly accepting a one-year deal with the Russian side. The former Chelsea and England captain had been without a club since his contract with Aston Villa expired at the end of last season.
Terry was due to appear in a charity match on Saturday at Celtic Park but pulled out of the event in order to undergo a medical in Rome ahead of his move to the Russian capital. Spartak, currently second in the Russian Premier League, are managed by Massimo Carrera who worked under Antonio Conte at Juventus and with Italy.
