Improving Swansea star Shelvey to start in place of Man Utd veteran Carrick

Jonjo Shelvey will start for England in Tuesdays night's clash with Switzerland.


The Swansea City midfielder impressed in Saturday's 6-0 win over San Marino in Euro2016 qualifying and will get another chance for the Three Lions following the injury to Michael Carrick.

Manchester United veteran Carrick was set to start at Wembley against the Swiss but a calf injury has forced him to withdraw from the squad, with Shelvey his most likely replacement.

England qualified for the UEFA tournament in France next summer courtesy of the big win in Serravalle and will now look to keep their 100% record alive when they host the second-placed Swiss team at London's football headquarters.
