England National Team (National Team) coach, Gareth Southgate, is having a headache because many of his star players are absent from training sessions ahead of Euro 2024. According to a report from the Mirror, a number of the players who are absent are due to injuries and are on additional holiday after defending their respective clubs. .
For your information, England has a test match scheduled against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday 4 June 2024. This match is a warm-up event for the England National Team before appearing in Germany for Euro 2024 which will be held on 14 June-14 July 2024.
However, ahead of this important trial match, Southgate was unable to use his best strength. Three players are reported to have recently suffered injuries, two are Manchester United players, namely Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
Then one player who was injured was Newcastle United’s mainstay winger, Anthony Gordon. Then, Bukayo Saka and John Stones themselves are confirmed to be absent against Bosnia because they are still recovering from injuries.
Meanwhile, there are four players who received more holidays from their clubs. Such as Kobbie Mainoo, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker and Jude Bellingham.
For the last name, Bellingham himself just won the 2023-2024 Champions League final over Borussia Dortmund on Sunday 2 June 2024. So, of course Bellingham will not be joining Southgate’s troops any time soon.
For this reason, many of the England national team’s star players were not seen at the England national team training session which was held at Rockliffe Park Headquarters in Middlesbrough on Sunday 2 June 2024. In the end, against Bosnia, Southgate couldn’t use his best strength.
Of course, it is hoped that in the second test match against Iceland on June 8 2024, the England squad will be more complete. Because that will be the moment of the last test match before appearing at the 2024 European Cup.
At Euro 2024, the England national team is in Group C. They are in Group C competing with Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia.
