Gareth Southgate has announced his 33-man provisional England squad for Euro 2020.

Defenders Ben White and Ben Godfrey and goalkeepers Sam Johnstone and Aaron Ramsdale have received their first Three Lions call-ups ahead of next month's tournament.

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is among four right-backs in the provisional squad as part of an expanded initial group which will then be trimmed down to 26 before the Uefa cut-off of 1 June.

Injury doubts Harry Maguire, Jordan Henderson and Kalvin Phillips are all included but there is no place for Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope who misses out after surgery on his knee.

Manchester United star Mason Greenwood has been recalled for the first time since being sent home after his debut in Iceland with fellow teenager Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund also getting the call.

There is no place for 2018 World Cup veteran Eric Dier while Leicester City’s James Maddison and Southampton’s Danny Ings also miss out despite featuring in recent squads.

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford also misses out despite a strong season in the Premier League.

Follow all the latest reaction and analysis with Southgate set to speak to the media to field questions on his selection.
