Gareth Southgate is expected to drop Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire, James Maddison, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Trafford, Curtis Jones, and Jarrell Quansah from his England squad for Euro 2024. This means Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier will be included in the final 26-man squad.
After initially naming a 33-man provisional squad, Southgate always intended to cut seven players ahead of UEFA’s deadline. Here is the final squad based on those who are likely to miss out:
**Goalkeepers:** Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal).
**Defenders:** Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City).
**Midfielders:** Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).
**Forwards:** Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).
Newcastle-linked James Trafford and Jarrad Branthwaite will be disappointed to miss out, especially following Maguire’s injury, but the inclusion of Gordon, who has just returned to training after an ankle injury, is a boost.
Maddison’s exclusion might surprise some, but his poor end to the season allowed Crystal Palace’s in-form Ebere Eze to secure a spot in the squad.
