Gareth Southgate has named a 33-man squad for the upcoming European championships, which will be trimmed down to 26 on June 1.

Defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Godfrey (Everton) and Ben White (Brighton) have all been included in Southgate’s provisional squad.

Alexander-Arnold has been an irregular member of Southgate’s plans this season as his form suffered, while Godfrey and White are both uncapped at senior level.

Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has been called up from the U21s setup into the senior squad, while there are spots for Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood and Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.

Nick Pope (Burnley), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Fikayo Tomori (AC Milan, on loan from Chelsea), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United), James Maddison (Leicester), Danny Ings (Southampton) and Patrick Bamford (Leeds) all miss out.

England play warm-up friendlies against Austria on June 2 and Romania four days later, both at Wembley, ahead of their Group D opener against Croatia on June 13.
