Express Sport understands Raheem Sterling will NOT be dropped, as the picture taken of Steve Holland's notes suggested. Instead, Sterling will start and the only change for this afternoon's World Cup clash will see Ruben Loftus-Cheek replace the injured Dele Alli. It means there is no place in the side for Marcus Rashford, whose name appeared to be on a piece of paper containing the England XI. ENGLAND TEAM TO FACE PANAMA: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Harry Maguire (Leicester), John Stones (Manchester City), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), Ashley Young (Manchester United), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Tottenham) Gareth Southgate yesterday insisted that his assistant Holland did NOT unintentionally reveal the Three Lions’ starting line-up to face Panama in the sweltering heat of Nizhny Novgorod tomorrow. And having initially challenged the English media to decide whether they’re “with us or against us,” Southgate wants to draw a line under the teamsheet controversy. Indeed, in a remarkable act by an England boss during a World Cup campaign, Southgate even apologised for the abuse some journalists have been subjected to on social media for divulging the names on Holland’s piece of paper captured by long lens cameras.<doc-sep>Raheem Sterling could be benched by Gareth Southgate for England's clash with Panama on Sunday, according to a projected team accidentally leaked by his assistant Steve Holland. Pictures of a note bearing a hand-written lineup carried by Holland at England's training base in Repino on Thursday suggested Rashford, rather than Sterling, will start up front alongside Harry Kane while Ruben Loftus-Cheek comes in for the injured Dele Alli in midfield.

Alli suffered a thigh strain against Tunisia and sources told ESPN FC on Tuesday that he would be a doubt to face Panama. The team sheet puts his (misspelled) name away from the rest of the team with a "medical" label. Southgate has reportedly been considering whether to rotate his team for the Panama match, but England have gone to great lengths to try to ensure their preparations for their World Cup opponents remain secret.

Calls for Loftus-Cheek to start have grown in light of his 10-minute cameo against Tunisia, which included creating a good chance for Rashford and forcing the corner kick that led to Kane's dramatic winner. Rashford strengthened his own case in England's final pre-World Cup friendly against Costa Rica, capping a lively performance with a spectacular long-range goal.<doc-sep>GARETH SOUTHGATE has revealed the 'leaked' England team spotted in training this week is NOT the one which will start against Panama. Pictures of team planning were published which appeared to suggest the side who will line up for the Three Lions in their Group G clash with the Central Americans on Sunday. 3 Gareth Southgate claims the 'leaked' England team is unlikely to be the one which starts against Panama Credit: AP:Associated Press Southgate has played down the storm on social media about the way the English media used the snaps of coach Steve Holland's notes, which had Marcus Rashford partnering Harry Kane with Raheem Sterling dropped. And he claimed that it will “probably” not be the team he names for the game, where a win will be enough to guarantee a place in the knock-out stages. Southgate said: "I made quite a balanced observation yesterday which, I’m told, has gathered quite a bit of momentum. I should explain. "My view is I totally understand the media have a role to report the news. 3 Assistant Steve Holland was caught out when he left details of England planning open to the eyes of the media Credit: Richard Pelham Ian Wright and Alan Shearer on England's team to face Panama, Raheem Sterling, leaks and Lionel Messi "My only observation is that it’s definitely an advantage for us or the opposition if you know the tactics of the other team. That was the only question I was asking. "From our point of view, I don’t expect the media to be supporters of us in terms of the way they work. They’re here to work. "I know they want us to do well. That’s been clear through the tournament. I’m really relaxed. Last week the team came out three days before the game, and I said nothing. "It’s not something we can control, and I understand it’s something that happens and is part of being a big team.

I’m totally relaxed. "I understand some of the guys have had a bashing on social media, for which I apologise, but nothing that happens or is released changes the way we want to work with the media." Southgate added: "We’re open because we feel it’s a better experience for everybody. The players are getting their messages to the supporters, and the environment has been really positive.

For all of us, players, staff, journalists, that’s a difficult environment to be in. "The guys have to find stories and produce content. We have to produce results. It’s like we are all away with our families and, after a while, you’re sick of some people and happier with others. "If the opposition have your team in any sport, that’s a competitive advantage, but it’s not the job of the media to protect that. "The other day was a list of 23 players and people have taken something from it which probably isn’t correct. But no drama." Asked about Panama, Southgate said: "Every team in the tournament we’ve seen already the difficulty big countries, in terms of rankings, have had in terms of breaking down lower ranked teams. "That’s been a theme throughout. So no complacency in the way we’re prepared the game."<doc-sep>
England manager Gareth Southgate's team plans for their next match against Panama appeared to be have been accidentally leaked. A picture of England's starting line-up taken at Thursday's training has been published by some media outlets. The image is of a notepad held by Southgate's assistant Steve Holland, taken during an open training session, which looked like England's line-up. The leaked photo, however, brings bad news for Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling who is set to be replaced by Marcus Rashford for the next match. Also, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will replace the injured Dele Alli. Southgate denied that the team sheet published by some British media was his starting line-up for Sunday's game but warned that leaks would harm his team's efforts. FIFA WORLD CUP 2018 FULL COVERAGE Southgate insisted it was not the team to face Panama written down on Holland's pad but chastised the media for publishing the photographs. "There is a squad of 23 names on the sheet. The next sheet has different players in different positions because we swap people in and swap people out. "The stories are then run as they are. For me, it's no drama," he said. FIXTURES | POINTS TABLE "Obviously any time, if we were to give the opposition the opportunity of having our team it's a disadvantage to us so of course our media has to decide whether they want to help the team or not. "But given that it was just a squad list, it doesn't really make any difference to us really," he added. The England manager said he had not told his players what his starting line-up would be. "Not yet, no. I mean I think always from the type of training that we do they have a good idea and clearly we had a team that played very well and won. So, we're not going to be wildly different to that," he said.
