How many players can a manager select?

Southgate will name a provisional 26-man squad in May, with a view to cutting it down to a 23-player limit.

However, a shock twist could now see Southgate and rival bosses have 26 players to pick for the tournament.

Uefa had decided to return the traditional smaller squads for this summer’s event.

But number of national coaches had urged a rethink, citing the sheer number of injuries sustained by players this season.

Uefa’s national competitions committee “narrowly” backed the proposal to revert to the extended squads allowed at both the delayed Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Organisers are torn on changing tournament rules at virtually the last minute.

A final decision will be made by the ruling executive committee in the next few days.
