Manager will put off announcement until next weekAlexander-Arnold unlikely to make final selectionGareth Southgate has decided to delay naming his final
England squad for Euro 2020 after a late change of heart and will instead wait until 1 June before trimming the group to 26 players.
England’s manager has seen his plans complicated by the involvement of English clubs in the
Champions League and Europa League finals this week, and he wants time to assess players who have been struggling with injuries. Southgate is set to name a provisional squad at 1pm on Tuesday, with the number involved potentially exceeding 30. It will give Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold a chance to win over the manager with his position in the final cut under threat.
