THE BIGGEST OMISSION: Manchester City star is not among England’s 26 Men squad despite his active form! Euro 2024
Grealish Left Out of England’s Euro 2024 Squad
Jack Grealish has been unexpectedly left out of England’s Euro 2024 squad by manager Gareth Southgate, following a lackluster conclusion to his season with Manchester City.
Grealish’s drop in performance during the latter part of the season led to his exclusion from Southgate’s preliminary 33-man squad, making him the most notable absence.
The 28-year-old winger did not participate in City’s FA Cup final loss to Manchester United in May and was also omitted from the team’s Premier League title-clinching match against West Ham.
Although Grealish made a brief appearance for England as a substitute in their friendly victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday, it wasn’t sufficient to secure his spot in the final squad heading to Germany.
He isn’t the only significant player left out; Manchester United’s Harry Maguire and Tottenham’s James Maddison also did not make the cut. Maguire failed to regain fitness after a calf injury, while Maddison had a disappointing end to the season.
Other notable omissions include Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite, Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, and Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah.
England’s Final 26-Man Euro 2024 Squad:
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)
Defenders: Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
