England Euro 2024 squad announced - LIVE!
Gareth Southgate has today named his provisional England squad for Euro 2024, with Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson among those missing out There are just a few weeks to go until the tournament gets underway in Germany. Having reached the final at the last European Championship, and then been narrowly beaten by France at the World Cup two years ago, there is pressure on the Three Lions to finally go all the way this summer, ending the 58-year wait for a major trophy.
There are plenty of tough calls for Southgate to make, with none bigger than the decision to leave out Rashford. The Manchester United has paid the price for his poor form this season, with Ben Chilwell, Raheem Sterling, Reece James and Henderson among those also overlooked. Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon and Eberechi Eze are all selected. Adam Wharton is included too, along with Luke Shaw, despite his injury issues. Liverpool duo Jarell Quansah and Curtis Jones make the cut, along with Ivan Toney and Jack Grealish.
The England boss has named a group of 33 players, before he has to trim that down to a final 26-man squad by June 7. He could opt to do that sooner, though, with friendlies against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iceland to come. England then face Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia in the group-stage at Euro 2024.
