England take on Denmark looking to make it back-to-back wins on their return to Uefa Nations League action on Tuesday.

A Raheem Sterling penalty saw the Three Lions see off Iceland after a rather lacklustre display in Reykjavik on Saturday evening.

Gareth Southgate has an added selection headache with Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden to be sent home after breaching coronavirus guidelines in Iceland.

Southgate said the pair had apologised after allegedly meeting two women following their England debuts in Reykjavik on Saturday and would not be part of Tuesday's match in Denmark.

England began their Nations League campaign on Saturday with a late winner from the spot against Iceland, before travelling to Copenhagen on Monday ahead of their second and final game of this international window.

Southgate's plans were thrown into chaos when it emerged that Foden and Greenwood, who both made their debuts on Saturday and were set to be involved once more on Tuesday, had breached isolation guidelines in Iceland and had to be sent home.

While Southgate is now short two outfield players, the rest of the squad are in better condition than expected, especially considering the international break is taking place during pre-season.

Predicted England XI

(3-4-3): Pickford; Gomez, Dier, Coady; Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Ward-Prowse, Trippier; Sancho, Sterling, Kane

Prediction: Denmark 1-2 England

With issues off the pitch taking centre stage, Southgate wil be hoping for a professional performance from his side. Even with changes, there should be enough quality there for an away win.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

England have an excellent record against the Danes, winning 12 of the previous 19 meetings between the two.

Denmark have just three wins to their name.
