England trio dropped from Euro 2024 squad as Gareth Southgate prepares for Saturday announcement

England are blessed with attacking talent this summer, however, as they look to win the European Championships for the very first time.

According to widespread reports, Maddison is set to be omitted from the England squad when Southgate names his 26-man party on Saturday.

Maddison came off the bench on Monday night as England cruised to a 3-0 win over Bosnia.

He had been set to play in Friday's final warm-up fixture against Iceland.

However, Southgate is now set to use Jarrod Bowen instead - with Maddison set to watch the tournament from home, like millions of other Britons.

Southgate named a 33-man squad last month but must cut seven other stars loose by midnight on Fridaym with Quansah and Jones set to be snubbed as well.

The official squad will then be announced the following day.

England have, however, received a boost when it comes to Luke Shaw - with the left-back hoping to feature at this summer's tournament.

The Manchester United star hasn't kicked a ball since the Red Devils' narrow 2-1 win over Luton back in February.

Shaw, as a result, missed out on United's 2-1 FA Cup final win over Manchester City at Wembley last month.

Yet the former Southampton star has stepped up his recovery from a hamstring injury in a big boost to Southgate.

Whether he's able to make England's squad for Euro 2024 remains to be seen.

But if Shaw is able to prove he's fit enough to play, then it's likely he'll be able to make the cut.

He isn't yet capable of completing full training session with the team - but has returned to training on the grass.

England will face off against Iceland on Friday night in their final warm-up game before Euro 2024.

Their competition begins with a clash against Serbia on June 16.

And England will then proceed to face Denmark and Slovenia in the group stages on June 20 and June 25 respectively.

Speaking earlier this week, meanwhile, Southgate admitted he was 'spinning a lot of plates' as he prepares to name his final squad for this summer's big event.

"We understand the significance for all of the players so we're giving it the respect and attention it deserves to make fair, right decisions," he said.

"Of course, it's always going to be subjective.

"It's not just getting the best individuals in, there's a positional element to that as well.

"We've got really good options and I think we've come through tonight without any physical issues, which is really important."

He added: "Some players needed the game, they needed the minutes and they need the minutes again on Friday. That's why we brought Harry Kane on. He needed some match time today and then to back that up.

"We're spinning a lot of plates trying to get individuals into things, manage minutes, perform well and everything else, but I think it was a good night for us."
