Southgate suggests Rashford will remain on the bench for England

Speaking to ITV after England's victory over Senegal, Southgate said: "He [Bukayo Saka] was excellent in our first two matches, we think Marcus was also very good and it’s great to have him to be able to come into the game as it opens up.

"We’ve, of course, got an embarrassment of riches in that area of the pitch. But we’ve liked Bukayo’s performances and we think Phil [Foden] and him deserve their opportunity."

Rashford was expected to start after his double against Wales. Although he failed to score against Senegal, he already has three goals.

England face France on Saturday for a place in the last four of the World Cup.
