England’s Euro 2024 squad LIVE: Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire miss out

Here it is. These are the 26-players who will travel to Germany for Euro 2024:

Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale, Dean Henderson.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier, Joe Gomez, John Stones, Lewis Dunk, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Declan Rice, Kobbie Mainoo, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher, Adam Wharton, Jude Bellingham

Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer, Anthony Gordon, Ollie Watkins, Harry Kane, Ivan Toney.

Here’s Gareth Southgate sepeaking: “No question, this is one of the most difficult parts of the job. We’re a close team and players, staff have known this decision was coming.

“I tried to do it respectfully and from a most human a side as possible but for the players who aren’t coming with us it is devastating. We’ve got that balance of excitement and remorse on a very difficult day.”

The England boss is just about to speak to the media about his decisions for the England squad. Declan Rice will join him to preview tomorrow night’s match against Iceland.

Jamie Carragher has tweeted his disappointment that Jarrad Branthwaite was omitted from the England saying that the defender was the ‘future’ of England.

He wrote: “Lots of bigger names than Jarrad Branthwaite have missed out on the England squad, but he should’ve been picked to go to Euro 2024 he’s England’s present & future.”

Gareth Southgate and Declan Rice are due to speak to the press at 6pm ahead of tomorrow’s Euro 2024 warm-up match against Iceland.

No dobut the England boss will be asked about the decisions he has made to cut players like Jack Grealish. It’ll be interesting to hear his reasons.

Gareth Southgate named an initial 33-man training squad that needed trimming to 26 players by 11pm on Friday, just over an hour after the final friendly against Iceland finishes.

But rather than wait until Uefa’s deadline, the England boss decided to announce the final cut on the eve of the Wembley send-off.

Crystal Palace are the club most represented in England’s final Euro 2024 squad with four players selected. That shows how brilliant the Premier League side were towards the end of the season.

Goalkeeper Dean Henderson, defender Marc Guehi, midfielder Adam Wharton and forward Eberechi Eze all make the 26-player squad.

Premier League champions Manchester City and runners-up Arsenal each have three players in the squad.

One of the players that flew under the radar in England’s 33-man preliminary squad was Jarrad Branthwaite. The 21-year-old centre back has had a fine season for Everton in the Premier League but Southgate decided his services are not needed.

That’s a risky call from the manager especially with Harry Maguire not fit and Lewis Dunk rumoured to have a knock as well. Marc Guehi and John Stones look set to become the main central defence partnership and could start alongside each other tomorrow night against Iceland.

Manchester United’s Luke Shaw has been included in the England squad for Euro 2024 despite still recovering from injury. His club team mate Harry Maguire, who is also injured, has been cut but Shaw – the only left-footed left-back England have – has been included.

Gareth Southgate previously said Shaw was “up against it” to play at Euro 2024 since the 28-year-old has not played since 18 February.

The England squad has been officially revealed with the names of the seven players to miss out on a place at Euro 2024 now known. The big omissions are Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire and James Maddison.

Goalkeeper James Trafford drops out with Jarrad Branthwaite, Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah also omitted.

Finally, James Maddison was told last night that he was being cut and has since left the squad saying he was ‘devastated’ to miss out on the tournament.
