ENGLAND could line up with a bold new look against Serbia as Gareth Southgate sweats on the fitness of FIVE key players.
The Three Lions kick off their Euros adventure on Sunday with a crunch clash in Germany.
And fans are expecting big things after watching England suffer a dismal 1-0 defeat to Iceland at Wembley on Friday.
However, boss Southgate could be without five important members of his squad.
Reports claim Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and John Stones will all be assessed ahead of the Serbia game.
While Luke Shaw will definitely miss out as he continues to recover from injury.
It means Southgate could be set for a major shake-up to his preferred starting XI, with five new faces coming in.

At left-back, Kieran Tripper will play out of position until Shaw is fit again.
While Marc Guehi will start in place of Harry Maguire, who was left out entirely.

In midfield, Southgate is likely to opt for a partnership of Declan Rice and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Conor Gallagher, Kobbie Mainoo and Adam Wharton are options if the Liverpool right-back is not rated.
But Southgate showed his support for Alexander-Arnold by handing him the No8 shirt for the tournament.
Up front, Harry Kane will start bar any late issues with his back.
