People think its really comfortable being at the front but its actually quite lonely. No one to tell you what you could do you have to figure it out for yourself. Welcome to the programme on the day of the provisional england squad announcement. Gareth southgate has provided us with some surprises, in his 33 man squad, but has also made some decisions you may have anticipated. Arguably the biggest Talking Point is the omition of Manchester UnitedsMarcus Rashford. Raheem sterling has not been named and for the First Time Since the 2012 euros, Jordan Henderson has been left out of the england squad. The manager has called up five uncapped players including Crystal Palace� s adam wharton, who started the Season Playing in the championship with Blackburn Rovers. So, lets look at the squad in full, starting with the keepers Jordan Pickford likely to be number one choice, but James Trafford named ahead of nick pope orjack butland. But its in defence where southgate has had problems hes named luke shaw, who he admitted was a risk because of injury. Hes included brightons lewis dunk and ezri konsa. Plus theres a call up for everton� s jarrad branthwaite. In midfield, Manchester UnitedsKobbie Mainoo has been named, ahead ofJordan Henderson mainoo wasnt even born the last time england went to the euros without henderson. First time call ups for liverpools curtisjones and as we mentioned, Crystal Palace� s adam wharton. Trent Alexander Arnold in midfield not defence. Its upfront that has given southgate the biggest headache, for the right reasons. The surprises here are the omissions with rashford and sterling missing out. West hams jarrod bowen, brentfords ivan toney and eberechi eze getting the nod ahead of them. Our Sports Editor dan roan spoke to southgate earlier and began by asking him about his decision to omit rashford from the provisional squad. Hes played in a lot of important matches for us and scored a lot of important goals for us. Weve worked with marcus for a long time which makes those calls harder. But ijust feel that there are players in that position that it had better seasons. Of course you need stability, you need experience. But we also have to evolve the team and go with players that are in form as well. How evolve the team and go with players that are in form as well. That are in form as well.

I was close to the Group Heading into 2000 and four, 2006 were married on believable squad. Weve got really close ourselves without of course its great that when we took this over eight years ago there wasnt a lot of enthusiasm for the team, there was a huge excitement about going to russia for the world cup. Now there is. Its brilliant and we want to embrace that, where looking forward to that ourselves. 0ur football reporter alex howell was at St Georges Park for the announcement. I spoke to him earlier and began by asking how big a call it was to leave Marcus Rashford out . Its quite a big call from Gareth Southgate considering the determinate experience that Marcus Rashford has in the world cup and in qatar, he was one of englands players of the tournament, scored three goals they are. Just his experience generally and what he brings to this england team put up his pace is obviously a big factor. In this current english wad so much of the attacking depth and quality is in those forward areas. As Gareth Southgate said, there are players in a similar position who have just had a similar position who have just had a better season than Marcus Rashford. Ii a better season than Marcus Rashford a better season than Marcus Rashford. , , rashford. If we look to the players called u , rashford. If we look to the players called up. Four rashford.

They are both big calls for i the curtis jones has been around for the curtisjones has been around for a while with liverpool and shown that he can can beat and deal with the pressure at the highest level. I think thats one of the main things that Gareth Southgate and coaches are on top level football say. Especially Young Players deal with pressure at the top level. He shown he can do that. Gareth southgate is a big advocate of the pathway here at st. Georges park and the england youth teams with the curtisjones was part of that england under 21 side that won the European Championships in georgia last summer. It shows real progression. If you just look at the squad, the players included from that team you have jarrad branthwaite, curtis jones and Anthony Gordon who was player of the tournament. And then kwanzaa. He showed he could play at the top level. Whether he can jump ahead of ezri konsa remains to be seen. They have to see how these injured players of those struggling to get through training for the next two weeks you mentioned Young Players, we must talk about adam whorton, the 20 year old who only made his primary debut for Crystal Palace in february what qualities has he shown already that has convinced Gareth Southgate to call him up . Its incredible, as you say, imagine he could go from playing in the championship injanuary two playing in a major European Championship byjune and july. Six months, what a turnaround. I think we design for Crystal Palace nobody wouldve predicted the impact he has had sent aside for the club theyve been rejuvenated for the a lot of thatis been rejuvenated for the a lot of that is down to the new manager but also adam wharton, his ability to deal with pressure and his Passing Range makes them unique among English Centre midfielders without his left footed, which gives balance, which is another check in his box. It could be interested in, he could come into the squad impress everyone and find himself on the plane to germany. Theres not much experience in that midfield lineup. There is under 100 caps in the players listed in that position. Thats another thing that works in his favor. There is not low to players who have a lot more experience than him. Well, many of you will have been asking the question, who is adam wharton . The 20 year old only started playing in the Premier League with Crystal Palace in february. Before that, he was at Blackburn Rovers, Where Hejoined The Academy as a six year old. Now hes broken into the england senior squad. Earlier i spoke to stuartjones head of the Blackburn Rovers academy and began by asking him what made Wharton Stand Out as a young boy . At six years of age knowing ive known in the last ten years in terms his attributes were always an outstanding football or photo intelligence, his ability on the football. I think of the other side he was a real humble young man for them all the attributes to go on to be a top player. Them all the attributes to go on to be a tap player be a top player. Hes made the transition be a top player. Hes made the transition from be a top player. Hes made the transition from championship l be a top player.
