Jack Grealish will not be in the squad for Euro 2024 as Gareth Southgate confirms the seven players he has dropped from his original squad.
Harry Maguire will also be missing due to a calf injury, as predicted by Mail Sport this afternoon.
The five remaining omissions will be confirmed: Curtis Jones, Jarrell Quansah, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Madison and James Trafford.
But Grealish has now paid the price for his disappointing campaign at Manchester City.
Doubts had been raised over Harry Maguire’s fitness ahead of the announcement of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the 2024 European Championship.

Manchester United defender Maguire – who would likely have been a starter – is missing due to a calf injury
James Trafford and Jarrad Branthwaite will also be confirmed as omissions
The England centre-back has not played since April and was expected to miss tomorrow’s final warm-up match against Iceland.
And fitness concerns surrounding Maguire are creating major uncertainty over his inclusion in Southgate’s final 26-man squad, which will be a major blow.
There has been no confirmation from the FA on Maguire’s availability for the tournament, but if he is not selected it would be the first time Southgate has featured in a major tournament without the Manchester United man.
Elsewhere, Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones will also be among the players who will miss the final England squad for Euro 2024.
Jones will join James Maddison, who has also been told he will not make the final cut.
The Anfield star received his first call-up when Gareth Southgate announced his provisional 33-man squad for the tournament last month.
But he will miss out on the trip to Germany, as will Tottenham midfielder Maddison, who was widely seen as one of the players at risk of missing out after a largely disappointing second half of the season.

James Maddison posted this statement after being left out, insisting he was devastated and admitted he thought there would be a place for him in Southgate’s 26-man squad.

It is understood Maddison was lined up to play in the final warm-up match against Iceland on Friday, but that will no longer be the case with Jarrod Bowen pushing to take his place in the team. Sources indicate that Maddison’s decision to leave the squad on Wednesday is linked to Southgate’s decision to leave him out of the latest celebration.
Branthwaite and Trafford are also expected to be named as omissions.
