With poor performance for Man Utd, striker Marcus Rashford was not named in the England squad for Euro 2024.

Last night, the England team announced a preliminary list of 33 players focused on preparing for Euro 2024. Among them, many stars such as Jordan Pickford, Harry Maguire, Kyle Walker, Declan Rice, Luke Shaw, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane are present.

Coach Gareth Southgate also reserved spots for young players such as Jarell Quansah, James Trafford, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Kobbie Mainoo…

However, a series of stars such as Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Jadon Sancho, Dominic Solanke, Jordan Henderson, Kalvin Phillips or Ben White is not on the England squad list.

Among them, Rashford’s absence created the most discussion. This striker was not called up because he had just gone through an extremely disappointing season at Man Utd.

Coach Southgate explained Rashford’s absence: “This is a difficult decision. We are talking about eliminating good players who have made important contributions to the England team over the years.

With Rashford, I just feel like other players in that position have had a better season than him. Simple as that!”.

Before Euro 2024, the England team will have two friendly matches against Bosnia (June 3) and Iceland (June 7). After this series of friendly matches, he will finalize the list of 26 players participating in the tournament in Germany. In the upcoming tournament, “Three Lions” will be in the same group as Serbia, Denmark, and Slovenia. They will play their opening match against Serbia on June 16.
