Gareth Southgate has selected 33 players that are all in contention to play at this summer's European Championships for England. The squad will be trimmed down to 26 players by June 1, but Southgate has given opportunities to Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben White, Aaron Ramsdale and Ben Godfrey to impress as he weighs up his options should he be missing players due to injury.

English club success complicates England preparation claims Southgate

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.
The former Middlesbrough manager has concerns over Harry Maguire, the Manchester United captain, as he is still suffering from an ankle ligament injury that could keep him out of his club’s Europa League final with Villarreal on Wednesday night in Gdansk.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has a minor injury but has been included, while Pope is to undergo minor knee surgery and will not be involved with England this summer.
Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been called up, but he suffered a shoulder injury against West Brom on the final day of the Premier League season and is a doubt for the tournament.
