Joe Gomez and Jarrad Branthwaite also called up to Gareth Southgate's final England squad before Euro 2024
Joe Gomez and Jarrad Branthwaite also called up to Gareth Southgate's final England squad before Euro 2024Toney, 27, has only played once for England, making his debut against Ukraine in March last year, but was handed a suspension two months later.However, injuries to Trent Alexander-Arnold, Kieran Trippier and Reece James have created a vacancy at right-back in Gareth Southgate’s squad for friendlies against Brazil and Belgium .
But Ben White, a more recent member of Southgate’s squad who went to the 2022 World Cup, made himself unavailable for international selection. The Arsenal defender has not played for England since leaving the World Cup midway through the tournament for personal reasons.“We had a call from Edu last week to say that Ben didn’t want to be considered for England squads,” Southgate said.
“I want to leave the door open for him because he’s a good player and I think he’s a player that can make a difference.” The England manager also made a point to dismiss rumours that White had left the squad after a fall-out with assistant manager Steve Holland. Called up for the first time is Jarrad Branthwaite, the 21-year-old Everton defender who has never made a senior squad before but was part of the England Under-21s squad that won the European Championship last summer. Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon is the other player who could make his debut.
