James Maddison LEAVES England’s Euros camp at Tottenham’s training base after Gareth Southgate axed him and cancelled plans for him to play in final warm-up on Friday – and now six more face the chop too

James Maddison has left England’s training camp, after it was revealed on Wednesday that the Tottenham midfielder would not be named in England’s final squad for Euro 2024.

Gareth Southgate will name his final squad for this summer’s tournament in Germany on Saturday and the Spurs star was widely seen as at risk of missing out on a call-up following a disappointing second half of the season.

The Spurs midfielder, who came in as a substitute against Bosnia on Monday nightwill not go to Germany later South Gate decided the former Leicester star would not be in their 26-man group.

It is understood Maddison was in line to play in Friday’s final warm-up match against Iceland, but that will no longer be the case with Jarrod Bowen pushing for his place in the team.

England manager Southgate will have to reduce his original 33-man squad before midnight on Friday and Maddison is a high-profile omission.

The news of Maddison’s removal comes after Southgate received good news over injury doubt Luke Shaw, who has accelerated his recovery from a hamstring injury to give England a key fitness boost .

The Manchester United full-back has not played for three months, but was still selected in the expanded squad.

However, doubts remain over his availability for the tournament, given his injury problem and long-term inactivity.

But Shaw has now taken an important step forward in proving his fitness before Southgate calls up his final 26-man group for the tournament on Saturday.

Shaw has returned to training on the pitch and although he is not yet able to complete full training sessions with the team, his inclusion, in parts, in his teammates’ schedule provides an indicator that he is progressing well.

It seems likely that even if Shaw is deemed fit enough to make the final cut, his involvement in England’s group matches will be minimal.

But if Shaw is deemed fit to play a prominent role in the knockout stages, then his presence would be a huge boost for England given his position as traditionally the country’s first-choice left-back.

England will face Iceland in their final warm-up match before flying to Germany.

Harry Kane will return to the starting XI after starting Monday’s win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on the bench, but Ivan Toney will have the opportunity to book his place in the final squad from the bench.

Manchester City and Manchester United contingent Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, Kobbie Mainoo and John Stones will be available after missing the win at St James’ Park earlier this week.
