Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford has been left out of the Three Lions of England squad to the Euro 2024.
England boss, Gareth Southgate released provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024 on Tuesday with Rashford’s name conspicuously missing on the list.
Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Chelsea skipper Reece James were among the other big names missing out on the list which will still be trimmed to a maximum of 26 before the tournament in Germany begins later in June.
Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton is rewarded for the Eagles’ brilliant end to the Premier League season with his first-ever call up.
Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Liverpool duo Jarell Quansah and Curtis Jones are the other uncapped players selected with Southgate short on defensive options.
England face Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 3 and Iceland four days later before jetting off for Germany, where they are one of the favourites to win the tournament.
The array of forwards available at Southgate’s disposal was responsible fpr he omission of Rashford.
This is the first time Rasford wouldn’t be selected for a major international tournament for the first time since the 2014 World Cup.
Rashford has scored just eight times in 42 appearances for his club this season and only recently returned from injury.
Henderson’s move to Ajax in January after a short spell in Saudi Arabia has not done enough to earn the 33-year-old a place.

Raheem Sterling and Kalvin Phillips were also overlooked despite shining for Southgate in the past at major tournaments.
