England Squad Euro 2020: When will Southgate release his list?

Gareth Southgate has a tough task at hand with the Englishman set to select a 26-man squad for the upcoming tournament. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic could be a blessing in disguise for the Three Lions head coach as he now has the opportunity to call up 26 players instead of the 23 with FIFA allowing three additional inclusions given the current circumstances. 

The team announcement is expected to happen at least a week ahead of UEFA’s deadline (June 1) which demands all the participating teams to share their list of players and confirmed squads for the tournament. The 50-year-old head coach is all set to announce the England Squad Euro 2020 on Tuesday, May 25. The squad list is expected to be released at 1 PM BST with all the named players asked to report at St George's Park for the initial training camp.
