Uncapped Ben White, Ben Godfrey, Sam Johnstone and Aaron Ramsdale have been named in England’s 33-man provisional Euro 2020 squad, while Trent Alexander-Arnold also makes the cut.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is also named, but Leeds’ Patrick Bamford misses out.

Gareth Southgate will name his final 26-man squad on Tuesday, 1 June.

Leicester’s James Maddison, Tottenham’s Eric Dier and injured Burnley keeper Nick Pope are left out.

One of the major talking points had been about Liverpool right-back Alexander-Arnold, who was left out of Southgate’s last squad in March.

With Atletico Madrid’s La Liga winner Kieran Trippier, Manchester City’s Premier League champion Kyle Walker and Chelsea’s Reece James also in the squad, one of them is likely to miss out.

Goalkeepers Ramsdale, of Sheffield United, and West Brom’s Johnstone, plus centre-backs Godfrey of Everton and Brighton’s White, are all hoping to win a first cap, if they make the final cut next week.
