Manchester City forward Jack Grealish, Tottenham midfielder James Maddison, and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire have been left out of England’s final squad for Euro 2024.
Maguire misses out due to a calf injury that has kept him out of action since mid-April, while his United team-mate Luke Shaw makes the cut despite not having played since February due to a hamstring problem.
Anthony Gordon and Jarrod Bowen were selected ahead of City’s Grealish, a £100 million signing from Aston Villa in 2021 and three-time Premier League winner.
Maddison and Curtis Jones were culled with Crystal Palace duo Adam Wharton, uncapped until Monday’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Eberechi Eze preferred, making the Eagles the most-represented club in the squad with four players.
England coach Gareth Southgate picked Marc Guehi, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, and Ezri Konsa as potential centre-back partners for John Stones, leaving out Jarrad Branthwaite and Jarell Quansah.
Euro 2024: Maddison left out of England squad
United teenager Kobbie Mainoo, who made his international debut against Brazil in March, was selected, while Southgate opted to take Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins as deputies to Harry Kane.
England can make late replacements to their squad until their first game at the Euros on June 16 against Serbia if a player has been injured or falls sick, while goalkeepers can be changed throughout the tournament.
