The Three Lions boss will make a final decision on his squad next week (Pictures: Getty Images)Gareth Southgate has named an extended 33-man provisional squad for Euro 2020, with the Three Lions boss sweating over the availability of a number of players before making a final decision. England have a host of players involved in this week’s Europa League and Champions League finals, while several more are struggling with injuries – notably Manchester United’s Harry Maguire. Southgate has therefore taken the decision to pick an expanded squad before whittling it down to 26 players in time for UEFA’s deadline at midnight on June 1. ‘There is a skill to picking 23 and it means you’ve got to make good decisions and important decisions,’ said the England boss.
