Surely Harvey Elliott should be in the 30 man squad? He’s been in brilliant form in 2024, and among Liverpool’s most creative players.
Ben in London
If Solanke misses out for Toney this will be an outrage. Not sure what more Solanke could do? 19 goals not enough?
Neil
Grealish may not have particularly high goal contributions, but he can always win you a freekick in a dangerous position, and in the 90th minute of a knockout game that could be vital.

Image source, Getty ImagesWith Marcus Rashford's exclusion, it begs the question, does his Manchester United team-mate Jadon Sancho deserve a place?
Borussia Dortmund, who the midfielder is currently on loan with, certainly think so. They've posted this reply, external to the official England account on X.
Chelsea captain Reece James has struggled this season following a series of injuries.
James has made just 11 club appearances this season, totalling less then 500 minutes of football.
He recently made his return from a hamstring injury that kept him out of the majority of this season, but missed the Blues' final match of the season after being sent as a substitute during the Blues' win at Brighton last week.
The right-back has not featured for England since coming on as a late substitute during a 2-1 win over Italy in March 2023.

Seeing Marcus Rashford and Henderson out is the best news of the day, regardless of who makes it and doesn’t make it.

Toby: Surely Morgan Gibbs-White is worth a shout? 15 goals/assists in a team which struggled for the majority of the season. Put him around players who are on his level and watch him thrive, maybe it's my Forest bias but he's been incredible for us.
Couldn’t agree more about Morgan Gibbs-White, Toby. He has been a top-class performance in an indifferent season. He is another who suffers from playing in a position where there is so much competition.

Alfie, Crystal Palace fan: Why is Tyrick Mitchell not being considered for left-back for England? Played nearly every game and had some standout performances.
Hi Alfie, agree he has played well but Gareth Southgate clearly feels he has better alternatives for what is a problem position after trying him out with England. That position is a real worry, though.

Jordan in Birmingham: Surely Lewis Hall is now a great shout for left-back for the squad? There isn’t currently a better English left back fit and available.
Don’t think he has played enough, Jordan, although I certainly agree left-back is a position of real concern for England going into Euro 2024.

Jonny in London: Why is no one talking about Dier who has been playing regularly for Bayern, or the uncapped Marcus Edwards who won the league with Sporting Lisbon this season?
Hello, Jonny. Just think Gareth Southgate has moved on from Eric Dier and unfortunately for Marcus Edwards he operates in an area of fierce competition.

Hoping that Lewis Dunk has done enough to make it into the provisional - despite our up and down season at Brighton he's been an absolute rock and deserves his chance.

With the news that Crystal Palace quartet Eberechi Eze, Dean Henderson, Marc Guehi and Adam Wharton are all in today's provisional England squad, there have been question marks over whether fellow Palace winger Michael Olise is eligible to play for England.
Olise has scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 Premier League appearances this season, averaging a goal or assists every 79.8 minutes this term.
But can he play for England?
Born in Hammersmith, Olise is English born but has never played for the Three Lions at any level.
With a Nigerian father and a French-Algerian mother, Olise is eligible for four different nations, England, France, Nigeria and Algeria.
Olise has played nine youth international matches to date in his career, all of which coming for France. However, Olise was left out of France's provisional squad earlier this week.

Michael Olise has been incredible when he plays for Crystal Palace. Skill, pace, assists, goals. Let’s bring him in can play anywhere in support of Harry Kane and France obviously aren’t calling him up, if he plays like that in league imagine him with the quality of Foden, Kane, Bellingham around him - no disrespect to Crystal Palace.

Vicky Gaskin, Wirral: Who would you choose as Harry Kane’s understudy in the squad? Ivan Toney or Ollie Watkins.
Well he could take both, Vicky, but this is a really interesting one. After the game against Belgium, when he scored, I would have gone with Ivan Toney because he looked so comfortable and more of a natural fit as a deputy for Kane.
Since then, however, he has not been at his best while Watkins played a huge part in getting Villa into the Champions League, so at the moment I’d go with him.

Defenders - Antonio Silva (SL Benfica), Danilo Pereira (PSG), Diogo Dalot (Manchester United), Goncalo Inacio (Sporting CP), Joao Cancelo (FC Barcelona), Nelson Semedo (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Nuno Mendes (PSG), Pepe (FC Porto) and Ruben Dias (Manchester City
Midfielders - Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Joao Neves (SL Benfica), Joao Palhinha (Fulham FC), Otavio Monteiro (Al Nassr), Ruben Neves (Al-Hilal) and Vitinha (PSG)
Forwards - Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Cristiano Ronaldo (Al Nassr), Diogo Jota (Liverpool FC), Francisco Conceicao (FC Porto), Goncalo Ramos (PSG), Joao Felix (FC Barcelona), Pedro Neto (Wolverhampton Wanderers) and Rafael Leao (AC Milan).
Cristiano Ronaldo has been included in Portugal's Euro 2024 squad ahead of his 11th major tournament.
The 39-year-old Al Nassr forward is joined by 41-year-old Porto defender Pep as the two veterans who played in Portugal's victory at Euro 2016.
Manchester City's Bernardo Silva, Liverpool's Diogo Jota and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes are also included in Roberto Martinez's 26-player squad.
Image source, Getty ImagesEngland squad Euro 2024: Gareth Southgate explains his provisional squad
Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson have been left out of Gareth Southgate's provisional 33-man England squad for Euro 2024.
Manchester United forward Rashford, 26, has struggled for form this season, scoring seven goals and managing two assists in 33 league appearances.
He played in seven England games this season before being left out against Belgium in March.
Rashford shared a screenshot of the training squad on social media, with a message "wishing Gareth and the boys all the best" for the tournament.
Henderson joined Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia from Liverpool last summer but left them to join a struggling Ajax side in January.
Southgate continued to pick him following his move to the Saudi Pro League, though he was booed by some England fans on his first game back in the country, against Australia at Wembley in October, which the England manager said at the time "defies logic".
Henderson was in the squad for March friendlies against Brazil and Belgium but did not play.
Southgate will have to cut at least seven players when he confirms his final squad of up to 26 players for the tournament in Germany, with a deadline of midnight on 7 June.
Euro 2024: Marcus Rashford and Jordan Henderson left out of provisional England squad
Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), James Trafford (Burnley).
Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).
Forwards: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).
Uncapped quintet Jarrad Branthwaite, Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah, Adam Wharton and James Trafford have made Southgate's initial selection.
Everton centre-back Branthwaite, 21, was key in his side securing Premier League safety this season, while Liverpool centre-back Quansah, 21, and 23-year-old team-mate Jones, who plays in midfield, helped the Reds finish third in the top flight.
Wharton, 20, impressed at Palace following his move from Blackburn Rovers in the winter transfer window and his team-mates Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi and Dean Henderson have also been included by Southgate.
Trafford, who did not play for Burnley after being dropped in March, received his first England call-up in March after Sam Johnstone dropped out of the squad through injury, but has yet to play for the national team.
Other players to make the cut are West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen, Manchester City winger Jack Grealish and Brentford striker Ivan Toney, along with Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and left-back Luke Shaw.
Mainoo, 19, played in friendlies for England against Brazil and Belgium in March and has made 31 appearances for Manchester United this season, scoring four goals.
Shaw has not played since February because of a muscle injury.
The training squad will join up on Wednesday, 29 May prior to friendlies against Bosnia-Herzegovina on 3 June and Iceland on 7 June.
Southgate’s side will then open their Euro 2024 campaign with a Group C game against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on 16 June.
Apart from Rashford and Henderson, other notable absentees include Ben Chilwell, Eric Dier, Reece James, Jadon Sancho, Dominic Solanke, Raheem Sterling and Ben White.
Left-back Chilwell has not been picked, despite injury concerns over Shaw, while right-back James and winger Sterling - also of Chelsea - are absent.
James has only played two games since returning from a lengthy injury in May, while Sterling has not played for England since their defeat by France at the 2022 World Cup.
Solanke appeared in all 38 of Bournemouth's Premier League games last season, scoring 19 goals and registering three assists, while White has made himself unavailable for England duty.
Winger Sancho is on loan at Borussia Dortmund from Manchester United and, despite helping the German club to the Champions League final, has not been picked by Southgate.
Centre-back Dier helped Bayern Munich to the semi-finals of the Champions League and, even though he is again playing regular football after leaving Tottenham, has not done enough to make the list.
When Arsenal defender White wasn't selected for the March fixtures, Southgate said there was a "reticence from his side" and he did not know why the player had made himself unavailable.
Southgate said he had "no issue" with the player, but confirmed on Tuesday he had not spoken to him since.
White left the Qatar 2022 World Cup squad early for personal reasons, with reports saying he was unhappy and had fallen out with assistant coach Steve Holland.
Southgate denied those reports in March.
White's ability to play right-back and centre-back would have been crucial given the injury issues in defence.
BBC Sport football news reporter Alex Howell:
"White has only made four appearances for England - none in Qatar - and is a fierce competitor, but the view around him not caring about football or loving the game is incorrect.
It is true that being a footballer is not his complete identity and he does like to do things not connected to football when he is not at training.
What is clear is that White is playing the best football of his career in the meanest defence in the Premier League this season. With Reece James not making the squad and several injury concerns elsewhere in the defence, the depth at full-back and even centre-half is not what it once was for Southgate.
There was an incident with Steve Holland in a team meeting where a comment was made by the England assistant in front of other squad members. White and Holland did speak afterwards and Southgate made clear in the March press conference when White ruled himself out that there was not an argument or an issue between White and Holland."
