Following Gareth Southgate: Following Gareth Southgate’s announcement of England’s provisional squad that will play two friendlies before the upcoming Euros, many have questioned the exclusion of experienced players like Jordan Henderson and Marcus Rashford.

Former English forward Michael Owen has spoken out on the squad announcement claiming he was ‘very surprised’ at Rashford missing out on the squad.

"Very surprised Gareth Southgate has left @MarcusRashford out of his squad. Granted he’s had a poor season by his standards but tournament football is different and he’s always been confident in an England shirt. We’ve many talented attacking players but very few with Rashford's pace. In such a big squad, he was worth the risk," Owen wrote on X.
