With Denmark playing the 3-4-3 formation that England equaled when they beat Germany in the round of 16, there was a school of thought that Gareth Southgate could do it again.
Saka’s versatility means she still could, but it seems unlikely at first.
The 19-year-old Arsenal player missed Saturday’s 4-0 win over Ukraine with a hit in training, but has returned in place of Jadon Sancho, who played his first significant minutes of the tournament that night.
Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips are all in the XI, as expected.
Sheffield-born Dominic Calvert-Lewin was a substitute in Rome on Saturday, but was not drafted to the bench for the second time in three knockout games. Former Leeds United borrowers Ben White and Ben Chilwell, who were on loan at Huddersfield Town, will also be lost.
ENGLAND (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw; Phillips, rice; Saka, Mount, Sterling; Kane.
Substitutes: Grealish, Henderson, Rashford, Trippier, Ramsdale, Mings, Coady, Sancho, Foden, Johnstone, James, Bellingham.
