England men's squad named for June's EURO qualifiers

England’s squad to take on Malta and North Macedonia in June’s UEFA EURO 2024 qualifiers has been named by Gareth Southgate.

The Three Lions manager has selected a 25-player group for the games, which start with the trip to Malta for the first match on Friday 16 June.

It's then back to Manchester, where North Macedonia will be the opposition at Old Trafford on Monday 19 June with tickets still on sale for that game.

Among the squad, there’s a first senior call-up for Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze following his eye-catching form with the Eagles. The former Millwall and QPR youngster had previously been capped at both MU21s and MU20s level between 2018 and 2021.

There’s also a recall for Brighton & Hove defender Lewis Dunk, who last featured for the Three Lions back in 2018, and Aston Villa’s Tyrone Mings who has been absent from the squad since his last appearance against Cote d’Ivoire in March 2022.

Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is also recalled, having last been called up in March 2022 before withdrawing through illness.

England go into their two games in June sitting on top of their EURO 2024 qualifying group, after winning their opening matches with Italy and Ukraine in March.

The majority of the squad will report to St. George’s Park to begin their preparations for the games on Monday 12 June, while players involved with their clubs at UEFA European Finals will join at a later date.
