England has failed to impress so far despite reaching the last-16 as Group C winners, and there is a growing call for Chelsea’s Cole Palmer to start following his brilliant cameo in Cologne.
The clamor for Palmer to start has prompted Southgate to consider playing Saka at left-back, a position he previously held at Arsenal.
However, Saka told BBC 5 Live, “Putting me out of position” at left back is not the solution for England.”
He added, “It’s in Gareth’s hands and we all have to trust what he selects on the day.”
