England at Euro 2024 news live - Last-16 opponents confirmed, Foden leaves camp

England are through to the knockout phase of Euro 2024 as group winners, despite underwhelming start to the tournament.

A goalless draw with Slovenia that saw little improvement from the Three Lions was enough to seal top spot on Tuesday. Denmark were held by Serbia meaning they couldn't leapfrog Gareth Southgate's men, who are in the far more favourable half of the knockout draw.

Southgate, though, will have to face plenty of questions as the England boss felt fan frustration with some hurling bottles and cups in his direction at full-time in Cologne.

Group D concluded on Tuesday with Austria surprising everyone to top the standings after beating the Netherlands. France were held by Poland thanks to a late Robert Lewandowski equaliser and only went through as the group runners-up, which leaves them with some tough games ahead in what's a mouth-watering knockout draw.

Shaw declares himself fit

Luke Shaw has declared himself fit for England’s Euros knock-out campaign.

Shaw, 28, has set his sights on being fit for the last 16 tie in Gelsenkirchen after saying he will be ready for the “next game.”‌

England boss Gareth Southgate took a major gamble on Shaw knowing that the Manchester United full back has not played since February 18 when he suffered a hamstring injury.‌

Shaw has been one of England’s best and most trusted players under Southgate and his return to action would be a huge boost for the rest of the tournament.

Czech striker Tomas Chory was sent off following the melee while West Ham star Tomas Soucek and Turkish wonderkid Arda Guler of Real Madrid were each shown yellow cards.

Turkey won the game 2-1.

  3. Georgia - 4 points (0 GD)
  4. Czech Republic - 1 points (-2 GD)

GOAL: Czech Republic 1-2 Turkey (Tosun)

A late winner for Turkey through Cenk Tosun!

GOAL: Czech Republic 1-1 Turkey (Soucek)

The Czech Republic have hope!

Tomas Souck has equalised against Turkey.

GOAL: Georgia 2-0 Portugal (Mikautadze)

Just like against the Czech Republic, Georges Mikautadze buries it!

Mikautadze has three goals and three games and Georgia lead 2-0!

Penalty to Georgia!

Wow.

After a VAR check, Georgia have the chance to go 2-0 up.

A nightmare evening so far for Portugal defender Antonio Silva.

GOAL: Czech Republic 0-1 Turkey (Calhanoglu)

And Turkey lead!

It's their key man, Hakan Calhanoglu, who's put them ahead.

A mountain to climb for the Czech Republic.

Second halves underway

Here are the Group F standings.

  1. Portugal - 6 points (+3 GD)

  4. Czech Republic - 1 points (-1 GD)

HALF-TIME: Czech Republic 0-0 Turkey & Georgia 1-0 Portugal

Only one goal so far in Group F but plenty of drama.

A second-minute goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has Georgia ahead the break, much to Cristiano Ronaldo's frustration.

The Portugal captain was booked for protesting what looked like a clear penalty but nothing was given.

Meanwhile up in Hamburg, 10-man Czech Republic now face an even tougher challenge to beat Turkey.

RED CARD: Czech Republic 0-0 Turkey (Barak)

Oh, Antonin Barak.

Two yellow cards in the first 20 minutes and he's off!

The Czech Republic need to win to qualify.

England avoiding Netherlands as things stand

That goal has sent shockwaves around Germany and not just because of the noise from Georgia's supporters.

As things stand, England would play Slovakia in the round-of-16 and not the Netherlands.

A win the Czech Republic would also do the same for England.

GOAL: Georgia 1-0 Portugal (Kvaratskhelia)

Amazing!

Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has put Georgia ahead within two minutes after a rapid counter attack.

Antonio Silva gave it away around the halfway line for Portugal and they were duly punished.

KICK-OFF: Czech Republic vs Turkey & Georgia vs Portugal

And we're off for the final two group games of Euro 2024.

Who'll join Portugal in the knockouts?
