England has finalized their Euro 2024 squad numbers, with Trent Alexander-Arnold securing the No. 8 jersey and Manchester United's rising star Kobbie Mainoo being assigned the final shirt, No. 26.
Gareth Southgate, the head coach, confirmed the 26-man group with UEFA after initially selecting 33 players in his preliminary group. Notable exclusions from the final squad include James Maddison, Harry Maguire, and Jack Grealish, resulting in a youthful yet promising lineup for the upcoming tournament in Germany.
Despite a setback with a 1-0 loss to Iceland at Wembley, Southgate promptly confirmed his chosen 26 to UEFA following the match. Each player's assigned number has been officially announced by the FA.
Established figures like Harry Kane (No. 9), Jordan Pickford (No. 1), and John Stones (No. 5) retain their familiar numbers, while intriguing changes include Alexander-Arnold taking on the No. 8, raising speculation about his potential midfield role. Jude Bellingham, coming off an exceptional season, inherits the prestigious No. 10 jersey after previously wearing No. 22 at the Qatar World Cup.
While jersey numbers may not always carry deep significance, the absence of Maguire has opened up opportunities, notably reflected in Marc Guehi being assigned No. 6.
Young talents like Adam Wharton and Kobbie Mainoo, recent additions to the squad, are positioned towards the higher end of the numbering system, hinting at their burgeoning roles within the team.
Here are England's Euro 2024 Squad Numbers:
England will kick off their Euro 2024 campaign on 16 June against Serbia, followed by matches against Denmark and Slovenia on 20 and 25 June respectively.
