EXCITEMENT is building among football fans as we are just weeks away from Euro 2024 – and England continue their preparations for the iconic tournament against Bosnia & Herzegovina TOMORROW!
The Three Lions are expected to sail through Group C which includes Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.
But Gareth Southgate has an important job ahead of the competition as he needs to whittle his current 33-man squad list down to 26.
And there won’t be a better chance for players to prove themselves to the England boss considering the opposition has never beaten England and failed to qualify for the Euros.
Furthermore, Southgate made some controversial decisions such as leaving the likes of Marcus Rashford and Raheem Sterling out of the provisional squad.
So this gives some of England’s fringe players the chance to shine and potentially get on that plane to Germany this summer.
