The final 26-man England squad for this summer’s Euro 2024 has finally been picked by Gareth Southgate.
And while plenty of talented players like James Maddison and Jack Grealish haven’t made the cut, the group is still awash with extraordinary talent.
Here’s how we at 90min have ranked England’s players based on importance to Euro 2024 hopes…
It’s probably pretty fair to say that Dean Henderson, England’s third choice goalkeeper, won’t play a single minute this summer in Germany.
Still, good for him getting a place on the plane at least.
Unlike Henderson, Aaron Ramsdale may actually get a game…if England win their first two group games and have a dead-rubber third to rotate their squad in.
Considering how out-of-sorts he’s been in front of goal since his return from a betting ban, it is rather surprising that Ivan Toney has made it on the final squad at all.
That being said, don’t expect him to eat into Harry Kane or Ollie Watkins’ minutes while he’s out in Germany.
Jarrad Branthwaite will perhaps be quite upset that the ‘big, tall defender’ slot has gone to Lewis Dunk.
And to be honest, it is a bit of a shock.
Dunk has been pretty poor of late at club level, so don’t expect him to get many chances at the Euros (even though he made the squad at the expense other centre-backs).
Ezri Konsa has earned his place in England’s Euro 2024 squad thanks to his very impressive performances for Aston Villa on their journey to UEFA Champions League qualification.
With just three international caps to his name however, the versatile Konsa likely won’t be relied upon too heavily by Southgate.
Having scored a career-high 16 Premier League goals for West Ham in 2023/24, Bowen heads to Germany in the best form of his life.
And while he’s not likely to start any games during Euro 2024, his positional versatility could make him a handy option for Southgate off of the bench.
Included ahead of Southgate’s favourite but unfit son Harry Maguire, in a lot of ways the decision actually makes quite a lot of sense.
On top of being in better form than Maguire, Gomez is also a bit more versatile as he can play…
