'Versatility can be positive and negative'

North Macedonia v England (19:45 GMT)

Matthew Upson FormHaving flexibility in the squad is important. Versatility of position can be a positive, but for me it can also be a negative as well, because you want players in positions that are excelling at a high level week in and week out.

Rico Lewis is a great example because he plays so many roles for Manchester City. That suits him at the moment as a young player because that enables him to get into the team and get minutes.

However you eventually want to have players that know a position inside and out, especially when you are at the level of trying to win a European Championship.er England defender on BBC Radio 5 Live
