England squad for Euro 2024 announced
Gareth Southgate has named his 26-man squad for Euro 2024
The tournament will be held in Germany from June 14 to July 14
Gareth Southgate has named his 26-man England squad for Euro 2024, with a number of surprises included. The squad includes 11 players who were part of the team that reached the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup, as well as a number of uncapped players.
The most notable absentee from the squad is Harry Maguire, who has been a regular for England in recent years. However, Southgate has opted to leave the Manchester United defender out of his squad due to his poor form for his club.
Another surprise omission is Jadon Sancho, who was one of England's most promising young players at the 2022 World Cup. However, Sancho has struggled for form at Manchester United this season, and Southgate has opted to leave him out of his squad.
The inclusion of uncapped players such as Jude Bellingham and Conor Gallagher is a sign of Southgate's willingness to give young players a chance. Both players have been in impressive form for their clubs this season, and Southgate will be hoping that they can make a similar impact for England.
England will be hoping to improve on their performance at the 2022 World Cup, where they reached the semi-finals. They will be one of the favourites to win Euro 2024, and Southgate will be hoping that his squad can deliver.
