Team News: James Tarkowski handed England debut

England boss Gareth Southgate hands a debut to Burnley defender James Tarkowski for the friendly with Italy on Tuesday night.

England boss Gareth Southgate has handed a debut to Burnley defender James Tarkowski for the friendly with Italy on Tuesday night.

Tarkowski has enjoyed an impressive season in the Premier League with the Clarets, and the centre-back gets the opportunity to make an impact on the left-hand side of a three-man backline.

Jamie Vardy gets the nod in attack, but Jesse Lingard and Raheem Sterling keep their place after impressing in the 1-0 victory over the Netherlands on Friday night.

Eric Dier is preferred to Jordan Henderson in the centre of the pitch, while Ashley Young is named at left wing-back in place of Danny Rose.

As for Italy, Gianluigi Donnarumma is named between the sticks as a replacement for Gianluigi Buffon, with Chelsea's Davide Zappacosta coming into the team at right-back.

Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini - linked with several Premier League clubs - is given another chance to make an impact, but Marco Verratti drops out of the team.
