Gareth Southgate axes two more England players from his Euro 2024 squad after sending James Maddison home

The Liverpool duo were included in England's 33-man provisional squad for Euro 2024 but won't make the final list for the tournament. According to Matt Law of theDaily Telegraph, both Jones and Quansah have been informed of Gareth Southgate's decision ahead of England's final friendly against Iceland.

Earlier this week, Southgate also released Tottenham Hotspur's James Maddison from the squad. The manager must still cut four more players before the trip to Germany for the Euros, with the competition only allowing a travelling squad of 26 players for each team. Manchester City star Jack Grealish has also been tipped to be left out.

Normally, Southgate would have had to release 10 players from his 33-man squad, however, last month, UEFA announced their decision to increase squad sizes from 23 to 26. This change came after UEFA received requests from multiple coaches and national associations, to ease the demands placed on players due to fixture congestion.

The Three Lions take on Iceland next at Wembley Stadium in their final friendly on June 7 before Southgate will have to make the final call on his squad. England will take on Serbia in their first Euros clash on June 16.
