Antonio Di Salvo makes two changes in the final third after a hard-fought win over Italy. Ansgar Knauff and Nelson Weiper contributed a lot during the tournament, and they’re now rewarded with a starting berth for the key semi-final duel.
Gérald Baticle also shuffled his side, including bringing back Matthis Abline to the starting XI for the first time since the opening day draw against Portugal. Ex-Bayern striker Mathys Tel will start the match as a winger.
The winner will face England on Sunday after Harvey Elliott’s brace against the Netherlands secured back-to-back finals for Lee Carsley a few minutes ago.
