Gareth Southgate drops England team news hint with latest Euro 2024 press conference

England take on Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter finals on Saturday, with all eyes on Gareth Southgate's team selection.

A major hint for England's team selection for the upcoming Euro 2024 quarter final against Switzerland appears to have been dropped.

After an extremely late show and dramatic victory against Slovakia on Sunday, the Three Lions come up against an impressive Swiss side in Dusseldorf.

With England still yet to convince in the tournament so far, plenty of fans have been calling for a number of changes for the clash.

Kieran Trippier went off with an injury in the Slovakia win, with Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze both deputising on the left-hand side of the backline.

There has been a huge clamour for only recognised left-back Luke Shaw to come in now that he is believed to be fit, despite him not featuring since February.

And there has been an interesting development regarding Shaw's situation.

According to Henry Winter, Shaw was scheduled to be the designated player talking to the media on Wednesday.

However, it was then changed to Brentford striker Ivan Toney - fresh from his major tournament debut assist.

As per Winter, the FA have played down the fact that Shaw didn't fulfill media duties.

The governing body say that there is no set-back for the Manchester United man but he would prefer to speak once he has featured at the tournament in Germany.

Though there have been doubts about whether Shaw is actually match fit, he was in the squad for the last two games.

The plan was apparently to give him 15 minutes towards the end against Slovakia but the circumstances didn't allow his involvement.

Gareth Southgate admitted he could have been brought him on but viewed it as a "huge risk".

“Yeah, I think that’s got a chance," he said after the win, as per talkSPORT.

"I mean, we could have put him on, but he has done so little full team training that would been a huge risk.

“A bit more training and a little bit more evidence for us of the level he is at would be helpful.”

One player who definitely won't be playing is Marc Guehi. Arguably England's best player at the Euros, the Crystal Palace defender is suspended after his yellow card last time out.
