England announces 23-man squad for Euro 2020

On Tuesday, June 1st, England manager Gareth Southgate announced the 23-man squad that will represent England at the upcoming European Championships. The tournament, delayed from 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is set to take place from June 11th to July 11th across multiple host countries.

The squad

The England team features an impressive mix of young stars and experienced players. Goalkeepers Jordan Pickford, Dean Henderson, and Sam Johnstone will be responsible for keeping the ball out of the net. Defenders Kyle Walker, John Stones, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Conor Coady, Ben White, Kieran Trippier, and Luke Shaw will work to keep the England defence solid.

In midfield, the team will feature Jordan Henderson, Declan Rice, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Jude Bellingham, and James Ward-Prowse. These players will be tasked with both winning the ball in midfield and creating opportunities for the attacking line.

The forward line is one of the most exciting parts of the England squad. Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden, and Harry Kane will all be looking to score goals for their country during the tournament. There are high hopes for young players such as Foden and Saka, who have both had a successful season in the English Premier League.

Notable exclusions

As is always the case with any squad announcement, there are a few notable exclusions. One of the biggest surprises was the omission of Trent Alexander-Arnold, the talented Liverpool right-back. While he has had a somewhat inconsistent season, many fans and pundits had expected him to make the final cut.

Another surprise was the exclusion of Jesse Lingard, who has been in excellent form since joining West Ham United on loan in January. In his absence, Southgate has opted for a younger midfield, with Jude Bellingham and Kalvin Phillips both included in the squad.

Expectations for the tournament

England goes into the tournament with high expectations from fans and pundits alike. The squad boasts some of the best young talents in Europe, alongside established stars such as Sterling and Kane.

The team made it to the semi-finals of the last major tournament they participated in, the World Cup in Russia, and fans will be hoping for a similar level of success this time around. With the tournament taking place on home soil for many of the group stage matches, there will be a sense that England is well-placed to make a deep run in the tournament.

Conclusion

The England squad for the European Championships is an exciting mix of youth and experience. Southgate has shown faith in the country's young talent, which should make for an entertaining tournament for England fans. With expectations high, it remains to be seen whether this squad can go all the way and win the tournament, but anything is possible in football.
