We're edging ever closer to Euro 2024 and boss Gareth Southgate is currently in the process of finalising his 26-man squad. Some high-profile names missed out on a place in the provisional 33-man squad, including Reece James, Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson. Seven more players won't be on the plane to Germany.
James Maddison was the first player in the provisional squad to be informed that he won't be included in the final 26, while Liverpool duo , according to talkSPORT. Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford isn't likely to be on the plane to Germany, either. Of the three remaining players to be cut, we expect West Ham's Jarrod Bowen, Brighton's Lewis Dunk and Brentford's Ivan Toney are the players most in danger of being left at home.
While Jordan Pickford might have his moments of madness - although to be fair they have become few and far between in the past couple of years - he's remained Southgate's undisputed number one bar none. The Everton goalkeeper is an absolute lock-in for that starting spot come the summer unless he suffers a major injury, while Aaron Ramsdale should be in as his deputy despite losing his starting place at Arsenal. The third goalkeeping spot is certainly up for grabs though.
The third choice would usually come down to Nick Pope or Sam Johnstone. However, both men were excluded from the provisional squad as they have struggled with injury issues. Johnstone's Crystal Palace teammate, Dean Henderson, is the stronger candidate to be the third-choice.
