With England naming their 33-man extended squad for Euro 2024, manager Gareth Southgate revealed his reasoning behind not selecting certain experienced former members including the likes of Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson.
England have such depth that an XI of players not going to Euro 2024 would probably be able to challenge at the tournamentHarry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Jordan Pickford are just three key inclusions that many expected, but other big names missed out.
Both have suffered hamstring issues this season, with the latter in particular undergoing surgery amid a recurring problem. However, he hasn't been selected for England since he left their 2022 Qatar World Cup came for 'personal reasons' and Southgate revealed in March heHenderson has made 81 caps for England and featured heavily under Southgate but is somewhat surprisingly out of his latest squad.
He scored five goals and assisted another ten in the Premier League this season but has been overlooked in a position already filled with experience and quality. "With Marcus I just feel other players in that area have had better seasons," Southgate said. "It's as simple as that."Through the middle is Sancho, who hasn't played for England since he assisted two goals in a World Cup qualifier against Andorra in 2021.
