Gareth Southgate is set to announce England's initial 30-man squad for the upcoming 2024 UEFA European Championship today (Tuesday, May 21).
Despite a number of injury clouds hanging over key players the squad is still expected to include the likes of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Harry Maguire (Machester United), John Stones (Brighton) and Declan Rice (Arsenal).
Jack Grealish may also return to the England squad, but Ben White has made himself unavailable for international duty and it seems the door has been shut on the likes of Kalvin Phillips and Raheem Sterling.
