The announcement, which followed a 33-man preliminary training squad, has seen the Three Lions’ roster refined to a group brimming with talent and ambition.

The squad’s reveal was nothing short of a spectacle, engaging fans across the nation through an innovative video featuring supporters from various walks of life. From home town heroes to former players, the video was a unifying call to rally behind the team as they prepare to take on Europe’s best.

Goalkeepers:

  • Dean Henderson( Crystal Palace)
  • Jordan Pickford (Everton)
  • Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)

  • Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion)
  • Joe Gomez (Liverpool)
  • Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)
  • Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa)
  • Luke Shaw (Manchester United)
  • John Stones (Manchester City)
  • Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United)
  • Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders:

  • Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
  • Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
  • Connor Gallagher (Chelsea)
  • Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United)
  • Declan Rice (Arsenal)
  • Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace)

Forwards:

The squad is a testament to Southgate’s trust in a blend of seasoned internationals and emerging stars. The likes of Harry Kane, now plying his trade at Bayern Munich, and Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid, are set to provide the spine of the team, while the youthful zest of Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden is expected to inject dynamism into the Three Lions’ play.


The selection process was not without its difficult decisions, as high-profile omissions were made. Notably, Jack Grealish and Harry Maguire were left out, the latter hinting at ongoing recovery from a calf injury⁵. The squad’s depth, however, remains formidable, with players like Declan Rice and Trent Alexander-Arnold coming off strong seasons with their clubs.

As England prepares for their final warm-up match against Iceland at Wembley, the squad’s focus is firmly on their opening Euro game against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen. With the nation’s hopes resting on their shoulders, Southgate’s men are ready to write a new chapter in England’s storied football history.

This is England’s moment. This is their summer. The stage is set for the Three Lions to roar.
