What has been said?

Speaking ahead of Euro 2024, Southgate has said: “There are so many aspects to being with this group of people that I love. We have some really special people who bring brilliant energy to the group. That's what creates the environment that the players come into and can feed off.

“Ultimately we're trying to form a team and a group that have got to push each other and be there for each other. There's a team dynamic that's crucial to winning that we have to find. People will have slightly different roles that they will with their clubs.

“At their club, all of these guys are pretty much first choice on the team sheet, so some have different roles in the next few weeks. The challenge of winning the games and the excitement of seeing our fans out there in some of the biggest occasions in world football is why you're in the game really. That's what we're looking forward to.”

On reducing his squad down to 26, he said: “It will be extremely difficult. It was very difficult to leave players out of this 33 and of course there are some younger players coming in with slightly different expectations to this camp. But there are going to be some difficult calls to make. We're hoping that not too many of these calls are decided by injury and we've got the strongest possible squad to pick from.”
