Euro 2024 is less than a week away and excitement is building ahead of this summer’s tournament in Germany.
Gareth Southgate made some huge calls this week as he named his final 26-man squad, axeing Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire and James Maddison from his provisional training camp.
We now know the players the Three Lions will be relying on over the coming weeks, although England hardly got the perfect send-off to the Euros they were hoping for after losing 1-0 to Iceland at Wembley on Friday night.
The other 23 teams competing at this summer’s Euros have also confirmed their squads. So, how are defending champions Italy shaping up? And what about the likes of France, Portugal and hosts Germany, who are all expected to have a say at the business end of the tournament?
Mail Sport runs you through all 24 squads that will be heading to Germany this week.
