Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson have been excluded from Gareth Southgate’s provisional 33-man England squad for Euro 2024.
Manchester United forward Rashford, 26, has had a challenging season, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in 33 league appearances. He participated in seven England games this season before being left out against Belgium in March.
Rashford posted a screenshot of the training squad on social media, along with a message “wishing Gareth and the boys all the best” for the tournament.
Henderson transferred to Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia from Liverpool last summer but moved to a struggling Ajax side in January. Southgate continued to select him after his move to the Saudi Pro League, although he was booed by some England fans during his first game back in the country, against Australia at Wembley in October, which the England manager described as “defying logic.”
Henderson was included in the squad for the March friendlies against Brazil and Belgium but did not play.
Southgate will need to cut at least seven players to finalize his squad of up to 26 players for the tournament in Germany, with a deadline of midnight on June 7.
