Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite will be the final player dropped from the preliminary England Euro 2024 squad, according to reports.
Matt Law of the Telegraph reports that despite the defender receiving his first cap against Bosnia & Herzegovina in England's penultimate friendly before the start of Euro 2024, Branthwaite will join the unwanted list of players dropped from Gareth Southgate's preliminary group. Lewis Dunk, Marc Guehi and John Stones are among the centre-backs replacing him.
England play Iceland this Friday before the group game fixtures begin, with Serbia their first opponents at the tournament. James Maddison was the first player revealed to have lost his place in the squad, shortly before Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah.
James Trafford is thought to be one of the few missing out of the plane, too, while in perhaps the biggest shock of the selection, Harry Maguire and Jack Grealish will miss the tournament, as well. Maguire has been selected for every tournament for England since the World Cup in Russia, in 2018.
Euro 2024 begins on July 14, with hosts Germany playing against Scotland.
