Gareth Southgate considering Euro 2024 call-up for unheralded Championship star Carl Rushworth could be a surprise name in England’s Euro 2024 squad as the goalkeeper on loan at Swansea continues to impress.

Euro 2024 will see some of the continent’s finest stars battle it out for European Championship glory, but for a number of high-profile players, they will be forced to watch from home like the rest of us. Flip flops, rather than football boots, will be the order of the day for those stars who will be playing no part in Euro 2024 with injuries, failure in qualifying and bans ending the dreams of many players.
