England faces Czech Republic despite the Ballon d’Or vote

England travels to the Czech Republic this Tuesday evening for a Nations League match at 20 h 45. The Ballon d’Or votes are closed, but Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham remain hungry. The match will be broadcast on L’Équipe Live Foot.

Ballon d’Or and the forwards' appetite

The votes for the Ballon d’Or are finished, but this has not dampened the appetite of the two English forwards. Backed by its stars and third place in the 2026 World Cup in America, England remains very ambitious. Harry Kane, already a leading figure, and the young Jude Bellingham remain determined to shine in the next clash.

After the defeat against Spain last Saturday, Thomas Tuchel leads his team to the Czech Republic. The coach could make a major rotation for this second match, which is part of a four‑match gathering.

Team line‑ups

The expected starters for the Czech Republic are Hornicek, Coufal, Hranic, Chaloupek, Slama, Sadilek, Cerv, Ambros, Sulc, Radosta and Hlozek. England will line up Trafford, Alexander‑Arnold, Guehi, Branthwaite, Hall, Anderson, Scott, Saka, Bellingham, Gordon and Kane.

The match will be streamed on L’Équipe Live Foot from 20 h 45 this Tuesday. Supporters will be able to follow the action live from the platform.

After the match in the Czech Republic, the Three Lions will travel to Croatia before returning to the Czech Republic to finish their pre‑season camp. This sequence completes the four‑match programme planned by the staff.
