Gareth Southgate has made the ruthless decision to cut Jack Grealish from his Euro 2024 squad and will be without the injured Harry Maguire
Gareth Southgate promised a different England at Euro 2024 after taking the ruthless decision to drop a “devastated” Jack Grealish and the injured Harry Maguire from his final 26-man squad.
Yet Southgate, who has selected 12 players with no tournament experience, is excited about the feel of his squad before England host Iceland in their final warm-up matchon Friday. “Some smaller players can mark really well. You saw Kobbie Mainoo doing a pretty good job from corners for Manchester United in the FA Cup final, so it isn’t just about height. You can have tall guys that don’t mark well. But clearly there’s a big presence that’s going to be missing.”
Further forward, Southgate has Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher, Declan Rice, Mainoo and Wharton as midfield options. He has the speed of Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka in the wide areas, with Eze, Palmer, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham competing in attacking midfield.
