Man United and Man City stars could face Euro 2024 axe by Gareth Southgate
Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford, two prominent English players, could miss out on the England squad for Euro 2024.
According to the Mirror, the Manchester City and Manchester United star could be left at home as Gareth Southgate prepares the squad for the big competition.
Following the international break, Southgate has been left scratching his head by the impressive displays of Anthony Gordon and Jarrod Bowen, as per the report.
Rashford’s form has suffered this season
Man United star Rashford’s form has been disappointing this season. The England international has just scored seven league goals this season, compared to seventeen last season.
Not only has he struggled on the pitch, the 26-year-old has been involved in controversies off the pitch that have seen him get dropped by the Red Devils.
After an impressive last season, it looked like Rashford’s career is heading to the next level but it hasn’t turned out that way.
Rashford did not play a minute against Belgium and was only used as a substitute against Brazil.
Grealish has been unlucky with fitness issues at Man City
As for Grealish, the Man City star has been plagued by injuries that have put his place in the England squad in jeopardy.
After naming his squad for the friendlies this month, Southgate said, as quoted by the Mirror:
“Jack’s definitely not out of the picture. I spoke to him before I named the squad. But as I said when I named the squad, Gordon and Bowen are pushing those guys.
