Gareth Southgate has named an expanded provisional England squad ahead of the Euro 2020 tournament.
With plenty of his players involved in European finals this week and a number of regulars facing a race against time to fit for the campaign, the Three Lions boss has opted to pick more than 30 players.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jesse Lingard are both in, while Aaron Ramsdale has been drafted in as a replacement for the injured Nick Pope.
With England sweating over the fitness of Manchester United skipper Harry Maguire, Brighton defender Ben White and Everton’s Ben Godfrey has been handed a first call-up.
White had an impressive first season in the Premier League in 2020/21, playing 36 games and showing a level of versatility that has caught Southgate’s eye.
The Three Lions have two pre-tournament friendly dates against Austria and Romania fast approaching, with a 26-man party needing to be settled on prior to those outings.
A final selection call will be made on June 1, ahead of a Euros opener against Croatia on the 13th of that month, with a number of hopefuls currently on the fringes of the fold set to be given an opportunity in training to prove their worth.
