Branthwaite misses the cut for England’s Euro 2024 squad

Jarrad Branthwaite has been overlooked by Gareth Southgate for this summer’s European Championship Finals, with the young Everton star not included in the final 26-man squad.

Branthwaite was selected in the provisional England squad last month and was handed his first cap in the friendly win over Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday evening but he will not be on the plane to Germany this summer for Euro 2024.

The 21-year-old misses out despite the fact that Harry Maguire won’t make the tournament because of a calf injury and Liverpool defender Jarred Quansah has also not been selected.

Brighton centre-half Lewis Dunk has been chosen in Branthwaite’s place, while the likes of James Maddison and Jack Grealish have also been omitted.

t means that Jordan Pickford will be Everton’s sole representative for the Three Lions at the Euros while Amadou Onana has been picked by Belgium and Vitalii Mykolenko remains hopeful of being able to turn out for Ukraine as he recovers from damaged ankle ligaments sustained in the Merseyside derby win in April.

Full England squad for Euro 2024:

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale

Defenders: Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker

Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice, Adam Wharton

Forwards: Jude Bellingham, Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze, Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins
