Tottenham player was part of Southgate's line-up for the 2022 World Cup but won't be a part of the squad for the upcoming continental showpiece

Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison will not be included in England's 26-man squad for the upcoming EURO 2024.

Spurs midfielder was called up by Gareth Southgate to the provisional 33-man selection and even featured in England's friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday, coming off the bench in the 3-0 win at St James' Park.

However, he's one of seven players who will be cut from the squad when the final 26 is announced on Saturday, a day after the Three Lions' friendly against Iceland at Wembley. The latest rumours suggest that Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah will also miss out the final squad.

The 27-year-old Maddison has made seven senior England caps and was part of Southgate's line-up for the 2022 World Cup, although he did not make an appearance in Qatar.

Maddison joined Tottenham in a £40m move from Leicester last summer but endured an inconsistent season after a strong start was disrupted by injury.
