We just feel other players have had stronger seasons – Southgate on omissions

Gareth Southgate said Jack Grealish and James Maddison missed out on places in his England squad for Euro 2024 because other players had stronger seasons with their clubs.

The England boss named an initial 33-man training squad that needed trimming to 26 players by 11pm on Friday but opted to make the announcement on Thursday, on the eve of the friendly against Iceland.

Grealish and Maddison were the big-name omissions, along with the injured Harry Maguire, who Southgate confirmed would not be fit for the group stages in Germany.
