News Desk: Mason Mount has trained with the rest of the England squad since Wednesday;

Bukayo Saka suffered ‘slight knock’ on Friday and is England’s only injury concern ahead of Euro 2020 quarter-final against Ukraine;

England travel to Rome as favorites to progress to the last four. Mason Mount is expected to return to England’s starting line-up against Ukraine for Saturday’s Euro 2020 quarter-final, but Bukayo Saka is an injury doubt after suffering a knock in training on Friday.

Mount was forced into precautionary isolation for over a week along with Ben Chilwell following close contact with club team-mate Billy Gilmour, who subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 following the goalless Group D draw with Scotland at Wembley.

However, Saka, who started England’s last two victories against the Czech Republic and Germany, faces a late fitness test ahead of Saturday’s game.

“We’ve just got to check on Bukayo, who had a slight knock today (Friday),” said England boss Gareth Southgate.

“Other than that everybody is available.”

Jordan Pickford, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Luke Shaw, Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane will all be in the starting line-up if Southgate picks his strongest team. Kieran Trippier has been troubled by a slight hamstring injury which needs to be managed.
