Two days following the conclusion of the Premier League season, on May 21, Southgate will announce a provisional team.
On June 7, unlike the 26-man cap in the past two championships, Southgate will have to trim his team down to 23 players.
“Injuries raise a lot of questions,” Southgate remarked.
Even though we were working with 26 players back then, it is inevitable that we will name a longer team, like we did prior to the Euros here.
Looks like it’s [settled at 23]. There has been some discussion among the coaches about potentially raising that at the next Uefa meeting.
Experts choose their England starting lineup for the Euros. Due to the coronavirus epidemic and the possibility of several cases of infection within a squad forcing players to isolate, squad restrictions were raised from 23 to 26 for the World Cup in 2022 and the European Championships in 2021.
