Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford finds himself excluded from England’s provisional squad for Euro 2024, signaling consequences for his underwhelming season. Notably absent are veteran players Jordan Henderson and Reece James, with Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton earning his first national call-up.
Manager Gareth Southgate faces tough decisions, particularly in defensive areas, leading to uncapped selections including Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Liverpool’s Jarell Quansah and Curtis Jones. Despite a wealth of attacking talent, Rashford’s lackluster club performance sees him sidelined from a major tournament for the first time in years.
