Both returned to the squad for the last games but Tarky has missed out although former Burnley centre back Michael Keane is in the squad, but Tom will be up against Jordan Pickford, the current number one, and Jack Butland for the goalkeeper’s jersey.

Heaton has played three times for England. He made is debut against Australia at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland in April 2016, coming on as a substitute for Fraser Forster. He came on for Joe Hart later that year in a friendly against Spain at Wembley and he got his first start against France iat the Stade de France in June 2017.

The hosts Portugal face Switzerland in the first semi-final before England come up against the Netherlands in the second, our game to be played on Thursday 6th June at Estádio D. Afonso Henriques in Giumaraes.
