James Maddison was one of several attacking midfielders called up by Gareth Southgate
( Ovichnews USA ) - As anticipation mounts for England's Euro 2024 squad reveal, manager Gareth Southgate has delivered a blow to the hopes of James Maddison, Curtis Jones, and Jarell Quansah, who are set to be omitted from the final roster for the upcoming tournament in Germany.
Both Maddison, the creative Tottenham playmaker, and Jones, the promising Liverpool midfielder, found themselves on the initial 33-man provisional squad list. However, their dreams of representing the Three Lions on the European stage have been dashed as they prepare to make way for the final 26-man selection to be unveiled on Saturday. Additionally, Liverpool's young centre-back, Jarell Quansah, is also expected to be among the seven players to face exclusion from Southgate's ultimate squad composition. Despite Maddison's appearance in England's recent friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina, where he featured as a substitute in the 3-0 victory at St James' Park, his efforts were not enough to secure a place in the final Euro 2024 squad. Meanwhile, Jones and Quansah, who remained uncapped in senior international competitions, did not see playing time in the friendly fixture, signaling their imminent departure from the England camp ahead of the team's last warm-up game against Iceland at Wembley on Friday. Maddison, a former Leicester City standout, boasts seven senior England caps and was part of Southgate's squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. However, his transition to Tottenham in a high-profile £40 million transfer last summer was marred by inconsistent performances, with injuries disrupting his promising start to the season. Amidst the exclusions, one notable figure who remains in contention is Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw, who recently returned to training following an extended period on the sidelines due to injury. With uncertainties lingering over Shaw's fitness, his ultimate inclusion in the final squad will be closely monitored by fans and pundits alike. The stage is set for England's Euro 2024 campaign kick-off, with a Group C opener against Serbia scheduled in Gelsenkirchen on June 16, followed by clashes against Denmark on June 20 and Slovenia on June 25. As Southgate finalizes his squad composition and tactical preparations, the exclusion of Maddison, Jones, and Quansah serves as a reminder of the unforgiving nature of elite international competitions, where tough decisions must be made in the pursuit of success on the grandest stages of European football.
