England squad for Euro 2020 announced
England manager, Gareth Southgate, has announced his squad for the upcoming European Championships, which will start on June 11 in Rome. The squad features a mix of experienced players and new faces, with some notable absences due to injury.
The starting eleven
The starting eleven for England’s first game against Croatia on June 13 is expected to be a familiar line-up. Jordan Pickford will be in goal, with a back four of Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire, and Luke Shaw. The midfield is likely to consist of Declan Rice, Jordan Henderson, and Mason Mount, with Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden on the wings and Harry Kane up front.
New faces
Southgate has included four uncapped players in his 26-man squad. They are goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, defenders Ben White and Ben Godfrey, and midfielder Jude Bellingham. White had an impressive season with Brighton, while Godfrey played a key role in Everton’s defence. Bellingham, who plays for German club Borussia Dortmund, has been touted as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
Notable absences
There were some high-profile absences from the squad due to injury. Manchester United’s Harry Maguire was a major doubt due to an ankle injury sustained towards the end of the Premier League season, but he has made the cut. Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson, however, was not so lucky – he has not played since February and was left out of the squad. The same fate befell Tottenham’s Eric Dier and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka, who were both nursing injuries.
Criticism and praise
The squad announcement has generated mixed reactions from fans and pundits alike. Some have praised Southgate for the inclusion of young talent such as Bellingham, while others have criticised his decision to leave out some experienced players. The absence of Manchester United forward, Mason Greenwood, has also raised eyebrows.
Southgate defended his choices, saying: “I think with any squad there is always going to be some level of debate and discussion over one or two positions, but I think we have a squad that has a lot of depth and a lot of quality.”
Conclusion
England will be looking to build on their impressive performance at the 2018 World Cup and go all the way at the Euros. With a talented squad featuring some exciting young players, they will be hoping to lift their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup. The tournament promises to be an exciting spectacle, and England fans will be eagerly anticipating their team's first match on June 13.
