Southgate names England prelim squad: Alexander-Arnold, White in

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 dropped for 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.

There are three teenagers included - Borussia Dortmund's 17-year-old midfielder Jude Bellingham, plus Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, who are both 19.

England face Croatia, Scotland and the Czech Republic in Group D with all those games at Wembley.

Before then, they play two friendlies at Wembley - against Austria on 2 June and Romania on 6 June.


England provisional squad:

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Man Utd), Sam Johnstone (West Brom), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Sheff Utd)
