After a heart-wrenching semi-final defeat to Argentina, the Three Lions now face France in the bronze final on Saturday night in Miami. As Kylian Mbappe aims for another golden boot, England must regroup quickly to put forth a competitive lineup.

Manager Thomas Tuchel faces a crucial decision regarding his team selection. Should he maintain a strong squad or rotate in some less-used players? Here are five players who truly deserve a shot against France:

• Kobbie Mainoo: The Manchester United midfielder has yet to see any action despite Declan Rice's injury struggles. Expect him to finally start, as he remains one of only two outfield players without a minute on the pitch.

• Dean Henderson: The choice of goalkeeper remains intriguing. Jordan Pickford started the last bronze final against Belgium in 2018, but Tuchel may opt for the Crystal Palace keeper, Henderson, over James Trafford.

• Trevoh Chalobah: Initially seen as a strange inclusion, Chalobah’s role may finally come into play due to England's right-back issues. His potential debut could provide much-needed depth at the back.

• Jarell Quansah: After serving his two-match ban for a red card against Mexico, Quansah is back and ready. His availability gives Tuchel a fresh option for the defensive line.

• Ollie Watkins: A key player during the Euros, Watkins has had limited minutes this tournament. With Harry Kane's dominance upfront, opportunities have been scarce, but expect him to make an impact off the bench, especially if the match extends to penalties.

As the final looms, these players could prove decisive in securing a third-place finish for England.
