England look to maintain their perfect record in Euro 2024 qualifying as they face Ukraine in Poland. The match kicks off at 5pm BST on Channel 4.
This squad marks maiden senior call-ups for Eddie Nketiah and Levi Colwill, but there was no place for Colwill’s team-mate Raheem Sterling.
Sterling was left out of Gareth Southgate’s last selection in May after a mutual decision based on his “physical condition” but had made a strong start to the new Premier League season.“To bring Raheem back in we would have to leave someone out and I didn’t think any of the attacking players warranted being left out. He is an important player for us but there are a lot of options behind the No 9.”
Harry Maguire and Kalvin Phillips are in today's squad despite neither having played a minute of club football so far this season when the squad was selected. Maguire since played 24 minutes as a second-half substitute against Arsenal last weekend.Jordan Henderson is also present despite leaving Liverpool for Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq in July.
The 33-year-old had been told by Southgate that the move would not impact his England prospects. The England manager insisted he had kept a close eye on Henderson’s performances for Steven Gerrard’s side. “We have watched every game,” Southgate said. “Key moving forward will be the physical intensity of the league with the heat; whether that allows him to perform at the level we need. We have to assess where he sits in our squad.”
