Gareth Southgate will name his provisional England squad for Euro 2024 on Tuesday, giving defensive injury doubts the opportunity to prove their fitness. The England manager faces a particular headache at left-back, with first-choice Luke Shaw yet to play since 18 February due to a muscle problem.
Ben Chilwell, who started England's March friendlies, has made only two brief substitute appearances for Chelsea since and missed Sunday's match through illness. Southgate also has concerns over Harry Maguire, who is struggling with a calf problem and is touch and go for the FA Cup final, and Marc Guéhi, who recently returned from a three-month knee injury layoff.
Southgate is considering recalling Bayern Munich's Eric Dier and Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze in an initial squad likely to number at least 30. The squad will be trimmed after England's final warm-up friendly against Iceland on 7 June.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to fill a midfield role alongside Declan Rice, while Anthony Gordon is a fitness doubt with an achilles issue. Southgate may also include Burnley's James Trafford as third-choice goalkeeper.
