Alexis Mac Allister will partner Gravenberch in midfield, while Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz, and Mohamed Salah form the attacking trio. Ekitike leads the line, with Curtis Jones and Rio Ngumoha on the bench. Federico Chiesa is also available from the bench, though Alexander Isak remains sidelined with a long-term injury.
