The England team has a limited time to showcase their abilities before Gareth Southgate announces the roster for the upcoming Euro 2024 in Germany.
Southgate selected a group of 25 players for the upcoming friendly matches against Brazil and Belgium in March. He then included a 26th player, Manchester United’s young star Kobbie Mainoo, with a last-minute call-up.
Despite missing several key players due to injuries, such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luke Shaw, Reece James, Kieran Trippier, Marc Guehi, and Callum Wilson, there are still numerous choices to be made by Southgate as he narrows down his roster to 23 players for the upcoming tournament.
Due to the decrease in team size from 26 players at the previous two major tournaments, it is improbable that Southgate will take risks on players who have not demonstrated their physical readiness by the end of the season. The Premier League is set to end on Sunday, 19 May.
This contains all the necessary information regarding the squad announcement.
When will the England team roster be announced?
On Tuesday, May 21st, Southgate will reveal a “training squad,” which is greater in size than the standard 23 players allowed. The announcement will be made two days after the conclusion of the Premier League season.
The national team of England is set to have friendly games against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 3rd and Iceland on June 6th, prior to the deadline of Sunday, June 8th to finalize their 23-player roster.
When will the Euros start?
On June 14, 2024, the Euro tournament kicks off with a match between Germany and Scotland in Munich.
The next night, England will face Serbia in Gelsenkirchen, followed by matches against Group C rivals Denmark and Slovenia.
