Gareth Southgate is set to make a string of huge decisions when he names England’s training squad, with Adam Wharton and Curtis Jones surprisingly selected over Jordan Henderson in midfield and Ben Chilwell left out despite major doubts over Luke Shaw’s fitness at left-back.
There is set to be a youthful, fresh look to the squad when it is announced on Tuesday afternoon. Henderson, who has not missed a major tournament since Euro 2012, has paid the price for a poor season. The former Liverpool captain struggled after moving to the Saudi Pro League and he has been unable to recover his form since joining Ajax in January.
Southgate has left out many of his old faithfuls in midfield, with Kalvin Phillips also omitted. Jones, the Liverpool midfielder, and Wharton, who has shone for Crystal Palace since joining them from Blackburn in the winter window, are the beneficiaries. Both players are uncapped. Liverpool’s Jarell Quansah, another uncapped player, will also be included.
The big headache for Southgate comes in defence. Shaw, his first-choice left-back, has not played for Manchester United since February but he will be given time to prove his fitness. Southgate will name a final squad of 26 and has given key players time to recover from injury at previous tournaments. However Chilwell, who hoped to deputise for Shaw, has not been included. The Chelsea left-back has struggled for fitness. His versatile Chelsea teammate Levi Colwill is in.
Southgate also has concerns in central defence, where Harry Maguire is an injury doubt. Palace’s Marc Guéhi is in the squad.
Palace’s attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze has made the cut after a fine end to the season. The West Ham winger Jarrod Bowen is in together with James Maddison. Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon is likely to be included but there is doubt over Marcus Rashford’s place and Raheem Sterling has not been included.
