AliousKieran Trippier and Anthony Gordon will represent Newcastle United in the upcoming tournament, having been selected by Gareth Southgate.
Trippier has been a mainstay in Southgate’s squads over the years, while Gordon earned his place after an impressive season with the Magpies.
Both Gordon and Trippier are in contention to start England’s opening match against Serbia.
England will face Iceland at Wembley on Friday night in their final warm-up game.
Southgate had to cut seven players from his initial 33-man squad. James Trafford, Jarell Quansah, James Maddison, Jack Grealish, Jarrad Branthwaite, Curtis Jones, and Harry Maguire are the ones who didn’t make the final list.
Maguire’s exclusion follows his absence from Manchester United’s last five games of the season due to injury.
Maguire expressed his disappointment on social media, stating: “I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer.
Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf.
Maybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it. Simply, I am absolutely gutted.
For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me.
If I can’t help the team as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys.
Next, I will return to the supervision of the Manchester United medical team in order to prepare for next season.”
James Maddison was another surprise omission.
Despite being a regular in recent squads, he posted on X: “Devastated doesn’t quite cut it.
Trained well and worked hard all week but if I’m honest with myself, my form for Spurs when coming back from injury in the second half of the season probably wasn’t at the levels I had set which gave Gareth a decision to make.
I still thought there would be a space for me in a 26 man squad as I feel I bring something different & had been a mainstay in this whole qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in Germany but the manager has made the decision and I have to respect that. I’ll be back, I have no doubt.
Wishing the boys all the luck in the world out in Germany, unbelievable group and lads that I literally call some of my best friends. I genuinely hope football comes home.”
