England missed out on lifting the trophy at Wembley after a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the final.

Should they make it through the group as winners they could have clashes against the Czech Republic, Italy, France on their course to the final.

However, should they finish as runners-up, then England could face Germany, Spain and Portugal before the final.

Who is most likely to be picked?

Southgate will be keen to pick his best players which will likely include captain Harry Kane.

The striker has been in immense form since his move to Bayern Munich last season.

Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice will be certain picks after impressing at Real Madrid and Arsenal respectively.

Jordan Pickford has been England’s undisputed No.1 under Southgate and will surely be between the sticks in Germany.

However, before the end of the season, players such as Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen could also get the call.

Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has certainly caught the eye since his January arrival from Blackburn Rovers and played a huge part in the Eagles’ superb end to the season.

Who could miss out?

There could be some notable names missing from England’s squad for Euro 2024.

Jordan Henderson has been a mainstay in the camp for Southgate but his poor showing at Ajax and stint at Al-Eittifaq could see him lose his spot.

Kalvin Phillips is another name that could miss out on the plane following his so far disastrous loan move to West Ham.

Full-backs Luke Shaw and Reece James have both proven to be injury-prone this season, which could see Southgate opt for more reliable options.
