Established Stars Ramsdale and Pickford Retain Places
Gareth Southgate, the England manager, has announced the final squad for UEFA EURO 2024, which will take place this summer in Germany. The squad includes Dean Henderson of Crystal Palace, who earned a surprise call-up despite limited playing time this season. Established goalkeepers Jordan Pickford of Everton and Aaron Ramsdale of Arsenal have retained their places in the squad. The squad numbers for each player have also been confirmed.The Three Lions will be looking to make a strong impact at the tournament and will be hoping to improve on their performance at the previous edition in 2021, where they reached the final but ultimately lost to Italy.
Southgate's squad selection has been met with mixed reactions. Some pundits have questioned the inclusion of Henderson, who has only made a handful of appearances for Crystal Palace this season. However, others have praised Southgate for his boldness in selecting a player who is in good form and has the potential to be a valuable asset to the team.
The England squad will begin their EURO 2024 campaign on June 14 against Croatia. They will then face Scotland on June 18 and the Czech Republic on June 22.
