Gareth Southgate will have to notify England’s final call-up for Euro 2024 after tomorrow’s friendly against Iceland, but the seven discarded from the initial pre-list of 33 players could be known even before playing at Wembley. The Athletic exclusively reports that “Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire have been left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championship in Germany.”
Minutes later, Harry Maguire himself confirmed, with a statement issued on his social networks, his withdrawal from Euro 2024: “I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England in the Euro Cup this summer. Despite my efforts, I have not been able to overcome a calf injury. I may have tried too hard to get it. “I’m just devastated.”
Just this morning, the Three Lions reported that “27 players will take part in today’s training session, with Lewis Dunk, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw following individual programs.” The Manchester United center back, who was out of the FA Cup final played and won at the end of May with the Red Devils, had not yet been able to exercise with the rest of the group. In the case of the citizen winger, said media points out, “Jack Grealish had form problems in 2023-2024 at Manchester City, having scored only three goals in 36 games in all competitions.”
The physical problems of one of the captains of the Three Lions, as well as the good season and competence of Anthony Gordon on the left wing, leave two players from Manchester United and Manchester City without playing in the next continental national team tournament. “Gareth Southgate has until 11:00 p.m. on Friday to confirm his list of 26 called up for the tournament,” adds The Athletic.
Maddison and Curtis Jones also out
The losses of Harry Maguire and Jack Grealish come hours after James Maddison confirmed, through a statement, that he officially became Gareth Southgate’s first discard. “I kept thinking that there would be a place for me in a 26-man squad, because I think I bring something different and I have been a pillar throughout this qualifying campaign for the Euro 2024 in Germany, but the coach has made the decision and I have to respect it,” wrote the Tottenham player. Although James Maddison was going to start against Iceland at Wembley, the English midfielder has left the camp. Added to this was also the confirmation, by the English National Team itself, of Curtis Jones.

The Liverpool midfielder would be the fourth ruled out by the English coach, but not the only and last one from the red team. While the British The Times added the name of the young centre-back Jarell Quansah, who received his first call from the Absoluta days ago, to the list of discarded, journalist Matt Law, of The Telegraph, reports that the last two discards of the seven What Gareth Southgate had to do would be James Trafford, Burnley goalkeeper, and Jarrad Branthwaite, Everton centre-back. Pending official confirmation, England could appear in Germany with three center forwards (Harry Kane, Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney) and being Crystal Palace, with four (Dean Henderson, Marc Guéhi, Adam Wharton and Eberechi Eze), the team that more footballers contribute to the call.
