What date is the England squad for Euro 2020 getting announced? How many players can Gareth Southgate pick?


GARETH SOUTHGATE faces the toughest job in football next week – naming the England squad for Euro 2020.

With the final at Wembley this summer and an expectant home crowd hoping for a big performance from the Three Lions, naming his squad is a huge step towards glory.

And there are some incredibly tough decisions to make for the man who got England to the World Cup semi-finals three years ago.

When is the England squad announcement for the Euros?

Southgate will name his England squad on Tuesday, May 25.

The deadline for all Euro 2020 squads to be named is June 1, but the Three Lions boss will have them out of the way just 48 hours after the Premier League season finishes.

The announcement is set to take place at 1pm.

How many players can international managers name in their Euro 2020 squad lists?

Each squad can have 26 players in it.

How England’s path to Euros glory could look

Uefa initially announced that there could be 23 stars in each, but because of the threat of players having to isolate due to Covid, the European governing body expanded each squad by three.

Many think that can be an advantage for England, with some serious strength in depth in certain areas, such as right-back and attacking midfield.

But other countries like France, Spain and Germany will surely feel the same way.
