Hugely important England player could be cut from Euro 2024 squad as injury fears revealed

England could be dealt a huge blow with one key player at risk of missing out.

A key England player faces the prospect of being cut from the final squad for Euro 2024 because of injury.

On Saturday Gareth Southgate will reveal his final 26-man England squad for Euro 2024 in Germany.

The Three Lions boss selected a provisional 33-man squad last month, but after England's friendly against Iceland on Saturday he will whittle the travelling party down to 26.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison and Liverpool's Curtis Jones have already left the camp after being informed that they will not make the cut.

Southgate must now pick five more players to leave behind, and it looks like Harry Maguire could be one of them.

The Manchester United centre-back has been an integral fixture in England's defence at the last three major tournaments, but according to the Daily Mail, he faces being cut due to a calf injury.

Maguire didn't train on Thursday, and is unlikely to feature in England's final warm-up match.

According to journalist Henry Winter, Maguire followed an individual training programme along with United teammate Luke Shaw and Brighton's Lewis Dunk.

Maguire's absence would leave England with a lack of experienced options in central defence.

The other centre-backs in Southgate's squad are John Stones, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Lewis Dunk, Jarrad Branthwaite and Jarell Quansah.

Branthwaite only made his senior England debut in the 3-0 victory against Bosnia & Herzegovina on Monday, while Guehi, Konsa and Dunk have just 19 senior caps between them.

Quansah is uncapped but is expected to miss out on the final squad.

Luke Shaw is capable of playing at centre-back, but like Maguire he has not participated in group training since joining up with the national team. Joe Gomez could also fill in if needed.

Stones has plenty of experience but has endured an injury-hit campaign with Man City.

England will kick off their Euros campaign on June 16 when they take on Serbia in Gelsenkirchen.

Southgate's side will then face Denmark in Frankfurt am Main on June 20, before wrapping up the group stage on June 25 against Slovenia in Cologne.
