England boss Southgate confirms Man Utd loanee Smalling in Euro2020 contention

England manager Gareth Southgate has not ruled out selecting Manchester United veteran Chris Smalling to play at Euro2020 squad.

The defender has enjoyed a renaissance this season on loan at Serie A giants Roma.

And Southgate admits he has been watching the 30-year-old.

"I've never ruled anybody out. I think that would be wrong," Southgate said via the Mirror.

"He's done well in Italy, playing at another big club.

"We're watching ­everybody as we've got to make sure we make the right decision."
