Diary

Monday, 5 February 2024 - England will face Bosnia & Herzegovina at for the first time as part of the preparations for the European Championship tournament this summer. Newcastle United's St. James' Park will host the meeting, in what will be their first visit since 2005.

Friday, 3 May 2024 - The UEFA Executive Committee has decided to increase the maximum squad size of teams participating in Euro 2024 from the original quota of 23 to a 26 man squad.

Tuesday, 21 May 2024 - Gareth Southgate has named a 33-man training squad. Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Burnley's James Trafford retain their places, whereas Liverpool's Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah and Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, all receive their first call-ups, and his teammates, Eberechi Eze, Marc Guéhi and Dean Henderson, all return to the set-up. Ajax midfielder Jordan Henderson misses out, as does Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.

Wednesday, 29 May 2024 - Various members of the squad who are not included in their club's post-season arrangements, or the FA Cup Final, began arriving at St. George's Park and have their first training session together.

Sunday, 2 June 2024 - 26 of the 29 players who have arrived at St. George's Park are involved in today's training. Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Anthony Gordon continue to work on individual programmes indoors.
At the Press Conference, Southgate confirms that Kieran Tripper will captain the side, and his side will be without six players for the game against Bosnia & Herzegovina, including defenders Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and John Stones. Manchester United's Maguire and Shaw are nursing injuries and Southgate said it is also "unlikely" they will be fit in time for Friday's friendly against Iceland. Stones is unavailable for the game against Bosnia having joined up with the squad late, while Anthony Gordon is recovering from an injury and Bukayo Saka is being rested. Jude Bellingham is due to join up on 8 June after helping Real Madrid to win the Champions League on Saturday. "All are progressing well - we're pleased with the progress they've made," said Southgate. "John reported a bit later so hasn't worked with us for the number of days, so it's better for him to follow an individual programme. "Bukayo's fine and progressing well, but he'll rest tomorrow and then he should be available for Friday."

Monday, 3 June 2024 - England 3 Bosnia & Herzegovina 0 - Cole Palmer marked his first England start by setting Gareth Southgate's side on their way to victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina at St James' Park. England's much-changed side struggled to find any rhythm for long periods in a scrappy affair but finally broke the deadlock on the hour when Palmer drove in a penalty after Ezri Konsa was pulled back at a corner. Trent Alexander-Arnold made sure of the friendly win with a fine volley at the far post five minutes from time, with Harry Kane later pouncing from close range to give the scoreline a convincing appearance. Eberechi Eze, was a bright spark until he was substituted. In a game of few opportunities before England's late rally, Ollie Watkins was denied by an early save from keeper Nikola Vasilj while Alexander-Arnold showed flashes of his range of passing in a midfield role. Southgate took the opportunity to make more changes after the break, which saw Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton getting their first senior appearances.

Tuesday, 4 June 2024 - Kobbie Mainoo and Phil Foden arrive at Spurs Lodge, at Tottenham Hotspur's training facility in Enfield. Adam Wharton and Jarrad Branthwaite both receive their Legacy Caps from Gareth Southgate.  However, Wharton received the legacy number 1282, when Branthwaite (1281) clearly entered the field a full six seconds later.

Thursday, 6 June 2024 - James Maddison and Curtis Jones have been dropped from the European Championship squad. The Tottenham playmaker said "devastated doesn't quite cut it" after he was told he will be among the seven players to be cut. Liverpool midfielder Jones has also missed out and both have left the England camp. "I trained well and worked hard all week but if I’m honest with myself, my form for Spurs when coming back from injury in the second half of the season probably wasn’t at the levels I had set which gave Gareth a decision to make," said Maddison. "I still thought there would be a space for me in a 26-man squad as I feel I bring something different and had been a mainstay in this whole qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in Germany but the manager has made the decision and I have to respect that. I’ll be back, I have no doubt."
Harry Maguire has also been left out and left the Spurs Training Camp. "I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer. Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf. Maybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it. Simply, I am absolutely gutted. For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me. If I can’t help the team as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys. Next, I will return to the supervision of the Manchester United medical team in order to prepare for next season."
Jack Grealish, Jarell Quansah, Jarrad Branthwaite and James Trafford are the remaining four to be cut - although Southgate confirms that Quansah will remain with the training camp at Enfield. Lewis Dunk will resume training from next week and will miss the match against Iceland tomorrow night. Luke Shaw continues his rehabilitation programme and is hoped to be available for the match against Denmark.
