Slovenia v Serbia LIVE: Euro 2024 team news and line-ups as England’s group rivals collide

Uefa have opened an investigation into allegations of racist and discriminatory chanting by Serbia fans during England’s 1-0 win in their Euro 2024 opener in Gelsenkirchen.

England players were reportedly targeted with racist abuse while the Kosovo football federation complained to Uefa about flags, chants and banners which contained “political, chauvinistic and racist messages against Kosovo”.

Uefa confirmed an ethics and disciplinary inspector would conduct an investigation into “alleged discriminatory behaviour” by Serbian fans, with the process set to take a number of weeks to conclude.

Serbia were also charged for throwing objects inside the stadium and displaying a banner that “transmitted a provocative message unfit for a sports event” at the Veltins Arena.

Serbia have threatened to pull out of Euro 2024 if alleged offensive chanting from Albania and Croatia fans goes unpunished.

The Serbian Football Association released a statement in the aftermath, and the general secretary of the organisation, Jovan Surbatovic, said: “What happened is scandalous and we will ask Uefa for sanctions, even at the cost of not continuing the competition.

Serbia: Rajkovic; Veljkovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, Lukic, Gudelj, Kostic; Vlahovic, Milinkovic-Savic; Mitrovic.

Slovenia: Oblak; Karnicnik, Drkusic, Bijol, Janza; Stojanovic, Cerin, Elsnik, Mlakar; Sporar, Sesko.

One football supporter was pictured with blood streaming down his face.

A Gelsenkirchen police spokesman told the BBC seven Serbian citizens were taken into custody.

It comes just hours after a shooting in Hamburg that saw a man taken to hospital. He was shot by police after he threatened officers with a pick axe and an incendiary device.

Slovenia have no fresh injury concerns after their opening game, so expect a similar line-up to the one that started their draw against Denmark.

Benjamin Sesko remains the talisman, with Oblak the undroppable ‘keeper and goalscorer Janza likely to keep his place at left-back.

For Serbia, winger Filip Kostic limped off in the first half of the loss against England, so he will be a doubt, but there are no other injury concerns.

Serbia’s defence, especially Pavlovic, were run ragged at times in the first half against England, and though they recovered well, that may be the area in which changes are made. Players such as Milinkovic-Savic, Vlahovic and Mitrovic remain undroppable, though Tadic might come in to the starting side against a weaker opposition, and Mladenovic impressed during his cameo after replacing Kostic.
