[Chimaera]

Confirmed: Gareth Southgate's provisional England squad​

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale, James Trafford.

Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Marc Guéhi, Ezri Konsa, Harry Maguire, Jarell Quansah, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker.

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

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

No Henderson, No Rashford.

Bit of a surprise on some of the non-capped younger players. Southgate also taking 4 keepers for now. Selfishly, seeing Jones, Gomez and Quansah make it is nice. Jones was one of England's best player last summer at u21s. Would have liked to see Elliott sneak in, but I get it. Wharton making it over him is a bit odd, though they're different. He's got time.

The U17 pitch looks awful minding it's the opening day of a fairly major tournament. A well-deserved 2:1 victory for Portugal over Spain nevertheless.
