    The Manchester United left-back has struggled for fitness since the start of the tournament and only made his first appearance at Euros, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute in a 1-1 draw with Switzerland, which they won on penalties to secure a place in the semi-finals.

    Lampard sees Shaw as providing balance to the team’s left-sided attack and, if fit, should be available at left-back for the Three Lions.

    “I think if he’s fit he’ll start,” Lampard told the BBC of Shaw. “He gives England a balance, he looks pretty good when he comes on. If he’s fit I’ll play him for sure.”

    As Rio Ferdinand added: “Luke Shaw gives us balance again,” and when asked if Shaw should start the semi-final, Rio said: “Maybe, it’s a big thing. Look into his eyes and ask him. If he gives the right answer then he will play.” ( sakidbet )
