May 24, (THEWILL) – The manager of the England national football team, Gareth Southgate, has unveiled his squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers scheduled for June.
The English squad will embark on a journey to Malta on June 16, followed by a home match against North Macedonia on June 19, to conclude the 2022/2023 season.
Eberechi Eze, the talented Crystal Palace player, has received his first call-up to the national team, reflecting his remarkable progress under the guidance of manager Roy Hodgson at Selhurst Park. This marks a significant achievement for Eze, who has consistently impressed with his performances.
The inclusion of Trent Alexander-Arnold is notable, as he returns to the squad for the first time since the Qatar World Cup. Additionally, Lewis Dunk from Brighton and Tyrone Mings from Aston Villa have been granted recalls to the national team.
However, some notable players such as Raheem Sterling and Fikayo Tomori have been left out of the squad. By contrast, Kalvin Phillips, who got limited playing time in Manchester City since joining last summer, has received another call-up. In unfortunate news, Nick Pope has been sidelined due to injury, while Ivan Toney of Brentford has begun his eight-month ban, leading to his replacement by Callum Wilson from Newcastle.
