Gomez: England players understand the pressure of Switzerland game

England defender Joe Gomez has outlined the importance of his side’s upcoming UEFA Nations League third-place clash with Switzerland on Sunday.

The Three Lions fell to a 3-1 defeat after extra-time against Netherlands on Thursday, despite taking the lead through Marcus Rashford’s 32nd minute penalty, as goals from Matthijs de Ligt, Quincy Promes and Kyle Walker’s own goal sent Oranje through to the final.

Gomez didn’t feature in the semi-final defeat but is set to start on Sunday as England find themselves in a third-place play-off for the second time in just under a year – although a different outcome this time around is the aim.
