England predicted squad for Euro 2024: Projected final roster of Three Lions players at UEFA European Championship
England will head to UEFA Euro 2024 as one of the favourites to win the trophy — something they have never managed to do before.
Gareth Southgate led the Three Lions to the final of Euro 2020, staged a year late due to the COVID-19 pandemic, where they lost to Italy on penalties at Wembley Stadium.
Big things were expected at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but England's adventure in Qatar was ended by eventual runners-up France at the quarterfinal stage. That means their wait for a first men's trophy since the 1966 World Cup on home soil is ongoing.
England came through qualifying with minimal fuss and they have some important tests in upcoming international friendlies, most notably when they host Brazil and Belgium in March. Those games will give us a better idea of their credentials when it comes to challenging for the big prize in Germany later this year, and it will offer a few clues as to Southgate's plans for his squad, which will be finalised in June.
The Sporting News looks at the latest main issues surrounding England's plans for Euro 2024 and has a go at predicting what their final roster for the tournament will look like.

Captain Harry Kane has had an excellent first season at Bayern Munich, despite some struggles for the team as a whole.
