England and Scotland look set to be given the chance to select 26 players for this summer's European Championships after a UEFA vote on Monday gave the green light for expanded squads. The suggestion was first made during a meeting of all the nations' coaches in Dusseldorf a fortnight ago, but at a meeting of the UEFA national competitions committee on Monday, Sky Sports News has learned that delegates voted in favour of changing the rules for Euro 2024 from a 23-player limit to 26.
The news will be a welcome boost for Gareth Southgate and Steve Clarke, with both England and Scotland badly affected by injuries, with the start of the Euros now less than eight weeks away.
