Confirmed: Barcelona duo Gordon, Livakovic start in England vs Croatia

Confirmed: Barcelona duo Gordon, Livakovic start in England vs Croatia As England get set to take on Croatia in the UEFA Nations League later tonight at Wembley stadium, two Barcelona players will face off against each other. Indeed, the Blaugrana’s summer signing Anthony Gordon has been named in the starting lineup for the Three Lions. The winger will come up against his fellow summer arrival at Barça, Dominik Livakovic . Gordon has enjoyed a positive start to life in England, although some of his recent displays have been underwhelming and attracted criticism from a section o the supporters. As such, the 25-year-old winger will be eager to bounce back strongly and impress with the national team so that he can return to Barcelona rediscovering his form and confidence. As for Livakovic, the Croatian veteran has barely played for Barça since arriving, with his only appearance coming in the form of a start against Sevilla in the injury-enforced absence of Joan Garcia. The seasoned goalkeeper’s lack of minutes is seen as a concern by Croatia manager Slaven Bilic, but he has shown confidence in the Barça star and handed him a start against England tonight. Apart from Gordon, Livakovic will also come up against 2026 Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane and in-form Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, and therefore, will be in for a major challenge at Wembley tonight.
