England's Euro 2020 squad: Meet the 23 players selected
The much-awaited Euro 2020 is just around the corner, and the national teams have started announcing their squads for the tournament. England has finally released the names of the 23 players who will represent the nation in this prestigious championship.
The Goalkeepers
The goalkeeping department is always significant for any team. The inclusion of three top-quality goalkeepers in the squad seems like an excellent decision by head coach Gareth Southgate. Jordan Pickford of Everton is the first-choice goalkeeper, followed by Dean Henderson of Manchester United and Sam Johnstone of West Bromwich Albion.
The Defenders
The defensive line-up seems impressive with a blend of youth and experience. Harry Maguire of Manchester United will lead the backline, followed by John Stones of Manchester City, Tyrone Mings of Aston Villa, and Conor Coady of Wolverhampton Wanderers. The right-back position will be covered by Reece James of Chelsea and Kieran Trippier of Atletico Madrid, while the left-back position will be occupied by Ben Chilwell of Chelsea and Luke Shaw of Manchester United. The inclusion of versatile defender Kyle Walker of Manchester City makes the defense more solid.
The Midfielders
England's midfield department looks solid and versatile with the inclusion of Declan Rice of West Ham United, Jordan Henderson of Liverpool, Kalvin Phillips of Leeds United, and Mason Mount of Chelsea. Jesse Lingard of West Ham United will provide additional options in the midfield, whereas Phil Foden of Manchester City and Jack Grealish of Aston Villa, two of England's most promising young talents, will add the much-needed creativity and flair to the midfield.
The Forwards
The forward line-up is the most exciting part of the squad, comprising top-class players who can create chances out of almost nothing. The inclusion of Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur is a no-brainer. Alongside him, Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, Raheem Sterling of Manchester City, and Jadon Sancho of Borussia Dortmund will provide formidable options in the front three positions. Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Everton will also add an additional option to the forward line, along with Bukayo Saka of Arsenal, another young and exciting talent.
Conclusion
England has finally announced the much-awaited squad for the Euro 2020. With the perfect blend of youth and experience, the team looks promising, and the fans have high expectations. The players must play to their potential and give their best to win the Euro 2020, something England last did in 1966. The whole nation is excited and eagerly waiting for the tournament to start.
