James Maddison, the 27-year-old Tottenham attacking midfielder, is poised to be excluded from England's Euro 2024 squad, according to sources from the PA news agency.


Initially chosen as part of Gareth Southgate's 33-man training roster for the upcoming tournament in Germany, Maddison featured as a substitute during Monday's 3-0 friendly victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James' Park before joining the team in London.


Despite being seen training with the squad on Wednesday, it's understood that Maddison is among the seven players facing omission from the final Euro squad. Reports suggest that he has since departed from the camp.

Having previously been part of the 2022 World Cup squad without making an appearance in Qatar, Maddison has accumulated seven caps for England.


Meanwhile, Manchester United defender Luke Shaw's return to training following an extended injury layoff raises hopes of his inclusion in the squad.


Shaw, 28, who hasn't played since February and had limited appearances for United last season, may boost England's defensive options. 


The team's final pre-tournament friendly against Iceland at Wembley is scheduled for Friday evening, just over an hour before the 11 pm deadline for squad submission to UEFA. Gareth Southgate's definitive 26-man squad is expected to be revealed on Saturday morning.
