Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the England squad for Euro 2020 ahead of the final confirmation of Gareth Southgate’s selection.
Manchester United forward Greenwood was named in the provisional 33-man squad, which will be cut to 26 on Tuesday. Southgate faces some tough decisions on who to omit, but one has been made for him. United have confirmed that Greenwood will not be taking part due to injury.
A
club statement read: “Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England Euro 2020 squad, in order to recover fully from an underlying injury that also kept him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March.
Would Greenwood have made the final 26?
Only Southgate knows that and it remains to be seen whether he ll tell us later today - you suspect he ll want everyone in his final squad to think and believe they are his first-choice selections to be part of the squad.Â
Many felt Greenwood would have been the perfect player to bring on late in the game if needed. Someone who could have changed the focus of an attack still hugely reliant on Harry Kane.
England wish Greenwood well
