England news as squad numbers have been released ahead of Euro 2024 with Liverpool and Everton stars all but certain of their place in the team
England have unveiled the final kit numbers for their 26-man squad ahead of Euro 2024, less than a day after Gareth Southgate's team suffered a 1-0 defeat to Iceland in their final friendly before the tournament.
Dominating possession for much of the game, England only managed one shot on target and were punished for a weak press and a disjointed defence. Now, focus shifts to the competitive matches as the Three Lions aim to maintain their impressive major tournament record under Southgate.READ MORE: Jamie Carragher calls out England Euro 2024 decision on Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite
Unsurprisingly, Jordan Pickford is No. 1 and is expected to start the tournament as goalkeeper, reports football.london. Kyle Walker retains his No.2 from Manchester City, while Luke Shaw - despite being an injury doubt - has been given his preferred No.3, which could suggest he will be included. In midfield, Trent Alexander-Arnold's selection is still up in the air as he could be paired with Declan Rice . The Liverpool star has been awarded the prestigious No. 8 shirt, suggesting he may start in midfield against Serbia.
