Gareth Southgate announces unexpected provisional England squad for Euro 2024

England’s manager Gareth Southgate has made a surprising move in his provisional squad selection for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament, generating widespread discussion.

With England aiming high after their narrow defeat to Italy in the last Euros final and a semifinal appearance in the 2018 World Cup, Southgate’s decisions are under intense scrutiny.

A major shock to fans and pundits is the exclusion of Jordan Henderson from the provisional squad. Henderson’s poor season with Ajax, where the team finished 35 points behind PSV in the Eredivisie, and his age at 33 influenced Southgate’s decision.

Conversely, Southgate is set to give Curtis Jones his first senior call-up, marking a significant step in the young player’s career over the past year and a half.

While the full official squad announcement, which will trim the provisional list to the final 26 players, is still pending, speculation about other potential surprises continues. Should England succeed in the tournament, Southgate’s choices will likely be vindicated; however, an early exit would cast doubt on his selections.
