The preliminary roster and the left guard issue:
publication time
: England boss Gareth Southgate is set to announce his 30-man preliminary squad for the Euros on Tuesday.
Trouble at left back
: Southgate has the biggest headache with Luke Shaw and the left-back position. Luke Shaw has failed to play for United since February 18 due to a muscle problem. Chilwell was called up on the last international day but then played just two games for Chelsea.
candidates
: Southgate is considering re-calls for Bayern defender Eric Dyer and Crystal Palace attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze, with a preliminary squad of at least 30 expected.
Key Race Schedule:
friendly match
: England will trim its squad to 26 after friendlies against Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 3rd and Iceland on June 7th.
Europa League group stage opener
: England will face Serbia on June 16th.
Player status and positional placement:
The case of Luke Shaw
: Luke Shaw is unlikely to play in the FA Cup final, having failed to represent England in any games this season after an injury-plagued run of just 15 for United. Southgate is also considering slotting Trippier in at left-back, although he is better at right-back.
Arnold and Bellingham
: Trent Arnold will partner Declan Rice in midfield, ahead of Henderson in the pecking order, with Calvin Phillips fading out of the national team.
Man Utd, Man City & Bellingham check-in times:
FA Cup final internationals
The England internationals from Manchester United and Manchester City will report for duty two days before they face Bosnia and Herzegovina due to the FA Cup final.
Champions League finalists
: Jude Bellingham will report for duty after the Champions League final and will only be able to join the squad before the match against Iceland.
