Phil Foden was part of Manchester City’s treble-winning squad last season

Manager Aidy Boothroyd has also called up Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White for the first time in a squad of few surprises.However, there is no place for Everton winger Ademola Lookman.England face France, Romania and Croatia in Group C, with their opening game against France on June 18 in Cesena.Boothroyd, who signed a contract extension earlier this month, said: This is a really strong squad and Im really pleased with the group of players Ive got, who will be representing us at the Euros.We have a big pool of talent in the England set-up and I had some tough selection decisions to make as theres a lot of strength in depth.Getty2

Ademola Lookman’s playing time has been restricted under Marco Silva

We have a real mixture in terms of age and experience. Weve got Tammy [Abraham], Demarai [Gray] and Angus [Gunn] who were part of the Euros squad in 2017, but also have nine players who are young enough to be eligible for the next qualifying campaign.This group have also won a lot at youth level and know the work and application that it takes.Well need that experience and winning mentality for the Euros. Its always a really tough tournament and I think this year is as strong as its ever been.Its a great opportunity for our players to showcase their talents as individuals and as a team.The full squad is below…
