Harry Kane Leads, As Sterling, #Rashford & Sancho Miss Out On Provisional England Squad For Euro 24—-Gareth Southgate has left Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford, Jordan Henderson and Jadon Sancho out of England’s provisional squad for Euro 2024 – while giving shock call-ups to Jarell Quansah, Adam Wharton and Curtis Jones.

Raheem Sterling pays the price for an underwhelming campaign with Chelsea, while Jadon Sancho was left out despite having a great second half of the season with Dortmund.

Rashford is another big name Southgate left out of the Three Lions provisional 33-man squad, after a poor season with Manchester United.

But Southgate is willing to give young players a chance to force their way into the squad heading to Germany for the tournament.

Uncapped Liverpool midfielder Jones and defender Quansah have been included, while Wharton is rewarded for his excellent Crystal Palace form following an £18million January move from Blackburn.

Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw is picked despite injury worries that leave his Euro participation in doubt, while his Old Trafford team-mate Kobbie Mainoo is selected again.

Harry Kane’s two understudies up front – Ivan Toney of Brentford and Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa – are both in, though only one may make the final cut.

Also selected in attack as Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze, Anthony Gordon, James Maddison and Cole Palmer with Southgate determined to give everyone an audition.

That also applies in defence, with the uncapped Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, Liverpool’s versatile Joe Gomez, Villa’s Ezri Konsa, and Palace’s Marc Guehi alongside more established names like Harry Maguire and John Stones.

Burnley’s James Trafford is one of four goalkeepers picked in the enlarged squad.

Those selected will report to a training camp and will hope for a chance to impress Southgate in pre-Euros friendlies against Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James’ Park in Newcastle on June 3 and Iceland at Wembley on June 7.

The deadline for cutting the squad down to a maximum of 26 players is June 7.

England begin their Euro 2024 campaign against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16, with Denmark and Slovenia also in their group.

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich

BREAKING: PSG Set Up Arsenal Champions League Final After 6-5 Aggregate Win Over Bayern Munich—-Reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain have secured their place in yet another UEFA Champions League final after overcoming Bayern Munich in a fiercely contested semi-final clash.

Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the 2026 UEFA Champions League final after edging Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in a dramatic semi-final clash.

The decisive moment came early in the second leg, when Ballon d’Or holder Ousmane Dembélé fired home from close range after being picked out by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, giving PSG a crucial lead that ultimately proved to be the winner.

Despite the fast start, the game soon became defined as much by controversy as by clear-cut chances. Bayern were left frustrated after Nuno Mendes appeared to handle the ball while already on a booking, but the referee opted against issuing a second yellow card.

Further anger followed when another potential handball incident involving João Neves went unpunished, with officials ruling that the ball had deflected off a teammate in the build-up—therefore not meeting the criteria for a penalty.

Bayern, managed by Vincent Kompany, dominated large periods of the match and created several opportunities. Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala both came close, while goalkeeper Matvéi Safonov was called into action multiple times.

The German side eventually found the net through Harry Kane in stoppage time, but it proved too little, too late as PSG held on to secure their place in the final.

The result extends Bayern’s wait for another European title to six years, while PSG now have the opportunity to win back-to-back Champions League trophies, just a year after claiming their first.

Attention now turns to the final on May 30, where PSG will face Arsenal. The showdown promises high stakes, with either a historic first Champions League title for Arsenal or consecutive triumphs for the French giants on the line.

BREAKING: Saka Fires Arsenal Into First Champions League Final in 20 Years—-TCN reports that Arsenal have qualified for the 2026 UEFA Champions League final after a narrow victory over Atlético Madrid, with Bukayo Saka scoring the decisive goal.

The result sees the North London club reach the Champions League final for the first time in two decades, marking a significant milestone in their European journey.

Arsenal will now face either defending champions Paris Saint-Germain or German giants Bayern Munich in the final scheduled for May 30.

This will be only the second Champions League final appearance in Arsenal’s history. Their first came in 2006, when they were narrowly defeated by FC Barcelona.

The Gunners will now be aiming to go one step further and claim their first-ever Champions League title.
