England's ticket to next year's UEFA Europa League final week has been secured in advance, but coach Seowky has insisted on selecting a strong squad for the next two outings - against Malta and Northern Macedonia. This is because the "Three Lions" still need to fight for points to be seeded in order to avoid the risk of being in the same group as Germany and other strong teams, thus increasing the probability of winning the championship.
The final week of the UEFA Europa League will be divided into six groups, with hosts Germany automatically falling into Group A to be seeded. The remaining five seeded teams will be determined based on their results in the peripheral matches. Currently, Portugal has a winning record and 24 points, so the seeding spot is already in the bag. In other words, there are still four seeds left to be determined.
