James Maddison Canceled From The British Squad For Euro 2024

JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison was not included in the England squad of 26 players selected by Gareth Southgate for Euro 2024. He has also left the training camp, British media reported on Wednesday, June 5.

Sky Sports and BBC reported that Maddison became the first player in a temporary squad of 33 players not to be on the final list for a tournament in Germany.

Southgate had to cut seven of the squad's players before 11 p.m. on Friday, June 7, an hour after England fought Iceland in a friendly at Wembley Stadium, London.

England will start their tournament against Serbia on June 16 and will also face Slovenia and Denmark in the group stage.

Maddison has seven caps for the national team without having played full games for 90 minutes. Despite being included in the squad, he was absent due to a knee injury during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
