Gareth Southgate will shatter the dreams of seven Euro hopefuls on Tuesday with Trent Alexander-Arnold among those in danger of the axe.
Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse, Sheffield United keeper Aaron Ramsdale, Everton defender Ben Godfrey, Brighton centre-back Ben White and Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins are among the players sweating on their places in Southgate’s final 26-man squad for the European Championships.
Having named a preliminary 33 man party last week, Southgate must trim his squad by midnight, leaving him with the difficult prospect of informing those players who have been cut.
