Phil Foden, the brightest young talent in English football, is set to begin England's quest to win the Under-21 European Championships on the sidelines.
The Manchester City midfielder, who has been identified by UEFA as one of the players to watch at this tournament, had been expected to start the opening Group C match against France in Cesena on Tuesday night.
But head coach Aidy Boothroyd has a raft of midfield options and it is expected that Mason Mount, the Chelsea midfielder who enjoyed a terrific season on loan at Derby County, will start alongside Leicester's James Maddison and Hamza Choudhury.
