I am aware that some people have concerns about our defensive strength, but Marc Guehi will start with John Stones in our Group C opener on Sunday due to Harry Maguire's withdrawal from the competition.
Since they have only played together twice, for a total of 128 minutes—during a 4-0 loss to Hungary in 2022 and the first half of last week's friendly loss to Iceland—people will assume that this is a fresh center-half tandem.
