Gareth Southgate will shatter the dreams of seven Euro hopefuls on Tuesday with Trent Alexander-Arnold among those in danger of the axe. Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse, Sheffield United keeper Aaron Ramsdale, Everton defender Ben Godfrey, Brighton centre-back Ben White and Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins are among the players sweating on their places in Southgate’s final 26-man squad for the European Championship. The defender’s position in Southgate’s Euros plans was thrown into doubt earlier this year when he was surprisingly omitted from the squad for the start of England’s World Cup qualifying campaign in April. Southgate is known to have fierce loyalty to Trippier, who last season played a key role in helping Atletico Madrid win La Liga. It leaves Alexander-Arnold facing a stressful wait to discover whether he has been handed a Euros reprieve.
