England Euro 2024 provisional squad as huge Marcus Rashford call made and 3 Man United stars in
Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has been left out of England's provisional squad for the European Championship in Germany this summer.
England manager Gareth Southgate has named a 33-man training squad in preparation for the final warm-up matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland next month. Following the clash with Iceland on June 7, Southgate must cut his squad down to 26 players by the 11pm deadline that evening.
However, Rashford will play no part in the upcoming friendlies or the tournament after being overlooked by Southgate. It will be the first major tournament he has played no part in since the 2014 World Cup.

Maguire has been a staple in Southgate's plans in recent years, playing a starring role in their run to the final of the European Championship in 2021.
