A star striker in English football for several years, Marcus Rashford was not selected by Gareth Southgate to play Euro 2024 with England.
A gem trained at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford quickly exploded to the highest level. So much so that after a few quick stints with the youth teams and the Espoirs, the striker joined the national A team for good. Since 2016, the twenty-six-year-old man has taken part in sixty matches with Three Lions, for seventeen goals scored. But like his club, Marcus Rashford has gradually slowed down and now often replaces with the Red Devilshe has just lost his place with England.
A real snub for him, since the English coach, Gareth Southgate, indicated this Tuesday that he had not included him in his list for Euro 2024. And yet, the coach chose to include thirty-three names on its famous list, seven of which will be withdrawn seven days before the start of the competition, according to information from Dailymail. In England, this absence is not really a surprise to observers and the public. Many of them, for example, indicated that Marcus Rashford was not made to be a substitute, and that not having the level to claim a starting place, it was fairer not to take him to Germany .
Southgate explains
This choice is not the only one to be talked about in England since Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson, two executives of the Three Lions in recent years, have also been left aside. The Chelsea player is far from his best, while the former Liverpool player has also struggled since his disastrous experience in Saudi Arabia. At a press conference, Gareth Southgate answered questions from the press and logically said a word about Marcus Rashford. “ There are difficult discussions to be had. With Marcus, I just have the feeling that other players who play in the same sector as him have had a better season. »
For the rest of his list, the coach has chosen a mixture of experience and youth, assuming to bring in certain elements to prepare the future of the selection. Harry Kane will of course be present in attack, as will Cole Palmer or even Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden. In the middle, Jude Bellingham and Kobbie Mainoo. And in defense, the experienced Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and John Stones. Finally, Dean Henderson and Jordan Pickford are two of the four goalkeepers called up.
