England manager Gareth Southgate is still deciding which attacking players to choose for the Euro 2024 squad. He mentioned that Jack Grealish, despite not playing much this season, is still being considered. Marcus Rashford was not included in the initial 33-man squad for Germany, and there are talks that Grealish might also be left out as Southgate plans to reduce the squad to 26 players by June 7. Grealish played 20 games for Manchester City this season and scored three goals. Southgate mentioned that there is still time for players to impress in upcoming friendlies against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland. Southgate is unsure about the number of attacking players he will need for the squad. He mentioned that players like James Maddison, Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer, and Jarrod Bowen are competing for spots. England will play against Bosnia and Iceland before their Euro 2024 campaign starts on June 16 against Serbia in Group C. Southgate is optimistic about Luke Shaw's recovery but uncertain about Harry Maguire's fitness for the tournament opener. Maguire has not played since April 27, and Southgate is considering Marc Guéhi as a replacement. Southgate is excited about Trent Alexander-Arnold's skills and his potential in midfield. Some players like John Stones, Bukayo Saka, and Anthony Gordon are recovering from injuries. Jack Grealish is working hard to secure his spot in the squad for Euro 2024, while Harry Maguire's injury is a concern for the team. Southgate is carefully evaluating players' fitness and performance before finalizing the squad. Kane is back in training and expected to start playing soon.
