The international break was a last chance for certain players to make an impression on Southgate, who was unsure of their place in his 23-man roster.
This is a look at the players who are almost confirmed, those who still have work to do, and those who have a slim chance of making the squad ahead of the Three Lions manager’s announcement of his preliminary team on May 21.
England has a fantastic opportunity to win. England wins the Euro 2024 injury-time Bellingham Rescues match.
But first, this is the 23-man team I would choose.
Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone, Aaron Ramsdale, and Jordan Pickford.
Luke Shaw, Ezri Konsa, Joe Gomez, Harry Maguire, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, and Kyle Walker are the defenders.
Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Maddison, Jude Bellingham, Kobbie Mainoo, and Declan Rice are midfielders.
Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Ivan Toney, Marcus Rashford, Jarrod Bowen, Anthony Gordon, and Bukayo Saka are the forwards.
