England, not without some controversy and discussion, have now announced their squad for the European Championships.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is in the squad amid rumours he had been left out, meaning Southgate has taken four right backs to the tournament.
Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier and Reece James are all in the squad, with Southgate answering the question of ‘who gets left out?’ with ‘none of them’.
Mason Greenwood is out through injury, whilst Jesse Lingard hasn’t made the cut despite his form at West Ham United.
With the squad announced, England have also confirmed the squad numbers for the competition.
Some may be wondering what number Alexander-Arnold is wearing; after all, his number 66 at Liverpool isn’t allowed on the international stage.
Alexander-Arnold is wearing 22 at the Euros, whilst Jack Grealish takes number 7 with his number 10 shirt at Aston Villa being taken by Raheem Sterling.
Luke Shaw gets the nod as the number 3 ahead of Ben Chilwell, whilst Jordan Pickford takes number 1.
