Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling set to be rested for England vs Wales - The Telegraph

Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling will likely be left out of the starting line-up for England's final group stage game against Wales at the World Cup.

Both Chelsea stars started for the Three Lions against Iran and USA. Their performance in the latter game was criticised by pundits.

However, The Telegraph reports that Gareth Southgate is not punishing the players by moving them down the pecking order.

Instead, they'll be given a rest, as well as Bukayo Saka and Kieran Trippier. Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Kyle Walker are going to replace them in the lineup.

Despite that, both Mount and Sterling have a chance to feature off the bench, as well as to start in the last-16 game if England qualify for the knockout stage.

The Three Lions take on Wales tonight, November 29, at 19:00GMT.
