Liverpool stars Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah ‘set to miss out on England Euro 2024 squad’ after James Maddison axe
Four more players are set to be cut from the squad
LIVERPOOL stars Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah have both missed out on a spot in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man England squad for Euro 2024.
The pair are among seven players who will be axed ahead of the tournament.
Jones was informed by Southgate in the last few days, while Quansah is also expected to miss out.
Tottenham star James Maddison became the first player to fall short of the 26-man squad on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old has already left the camp.
England will take on Iceland tomorrow evening before Southgate decides on his remaining cuts.
Brentford striker Ivan Toney is currently sweating on his place, with Ollie Watkins preferred in Monday’s match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Toney scored just four goals in 17 Prem appearances after returning from a betting ban in January.
And he will likely get limited minutes against Iceland, with England’s all-time leading goalscorer Harry Kane set to start.
The Three Lions kick off their Euro 2024 campaign against Serbia next weekend.

They will also face Denmark and Slovenia in the group stages.
Speaking after Monday’s 3-0 win over Bosnia, Southgate said: “We understand the significance for all of the players so we’re giving it the respect and attention it deserves to make fair, right decisions.
“Of course, it’s always going to be subjective.
“It’s not just getting the best individuals in, there’s a positional element to that as well.
“We’ve got really good options and I think we’ve come through tonight without any physical issues, which is really important.”
He continued: “Some players needed the game, they needed the minutes and they need the minutes again on Friday. That’s why we brought Harry Kane on. He needed some match time today and then to back that up.
“We’re spinning a lot of plates trying to get individuals into things, manage minutes, perform well and everything else, but I think it was a good night for us.”
