England's Euro 2020 squad may be dominated by players from the upper reaches of the top flight, but 22 of them cut their teeth in the English Football League.
Manchester United’s Harry Maguire, Atletico Madrid's Kieran Trippier, Leeds United's dynamo Kalvin Philips and Aston Villa's maestro Jack Grealish, all played more than 100 EFL league matches, as they built the foundations that have taken them to the top of the game.
Others spent a time in the lower leagues on loan, like Mason Mount at Derby County, Ben Chilwell at Huddersfield Town and Jordan Pickford, who went out on loan to Burton Albion, Carlisle, Bradford and Preston.
