Gareth Southgate will announce his squad squad on 21 May to make final preparations ahead of Euro 2024.
The number of training camps has yet to be confirmed, but they will assemble at St. George's Park and play two warm-up matches, against Bosnia and Herzegovina on June 3 and Iceland on June 7
Southgate will whittle down his squad to 26 before the deadline on 8 June, with two days then flying to Germany for their group opener against Serbia at the Stade Schalke in Gelsenkirchen on 16 June.
Southgate has a lot to think about and he has to make the right decisions if England can live up to expectations and become one of the favourites for this tournament.
One of the key issues he has to consider is the fitness and physical condition of the players, who are often strong candidates for the squad. During the long and arduous season of the season, many of the main players have been injured. Those who have returned in recent weeks will have a question mark over their fitness and fitness.
goalie
With injuries to competitors and lack of game time, this has become a conundrum for Southgate.
Newcastle dislocated his shoulder against Manchester United and has been sidelined since early December, but has recently returned to the bench. Eddie Howe has expressed concern about Pope's availability for the European Championship as the goalkeeper only has two Premier League games left to play. The Newcastle manager believes the injury has caused Pope a 'psychological block'.
Injuries have plagued Pope's international career. He has not featured for England since September 2022 and was left out of the squad by Gareth Southgate after undergoing hand surgery last May.
Crystal Palace's Sam Johnstone has been left out of the squad for the Euros, after withdrawing from the squad after elbow surgery in March, further narrowing Southgate's options.
Ramsdale's lack of playing time at Arsenal is also an issue. Ramsdale was named in the national team in October alongside Johnstone and Jordan Pickford, but has made just 12 appearances this season and twice since mid-December.
Atralford's form will also have Southgate worried. Dental's starting spot at Burnley has been replaced by Kosovo international Arianette Muric, who has not featured at club level since 10 March.
With the problems mounting, Southgate seems to need Pickford to stay fit more and more.
fullback
The goalkeeper isn't the only problem Southgate faces. Defenders have been an issue for much of the season, with Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Luke Shaw and Kyle Walker injured in succession.
James has been out for a long time since undergoing hamstring surgery on 10 December, but Pochettino has confirmed he is back in full training and ready for the national team. But his fitness did not fully recover.
Ben Chilwell remains sidelined. He has been sidelined several times this season due to injury, hamstring problems and now a knee problem that limits his appearances, and taking him to Germany is risky.
Shaw has made 15 appearances this season and was expected to return for Manchester United's FA Cup final against Manchester City on 25 May, but Ten Hag recently said the left-back had suffered a setback. He also falls into the category of 'at risk', as he has not played since February with a hamstring injury.
Right-back Walker has recovered from a hamstring injury. According to Howe, Kieran Trippier is "getting closer" to a comeback after he has been out of action since mid-February with a calf injury. Howe said on Friday: "He trained this week. I'll make a decision today. ”
Centre-back John Stones, like Manchester City team-mate Walker, was injured during the March international break.
Harry Maguire has recently suffered a muscle injury and is set to be out for three weeks, but is expected to return before the end of the season.
AC Milan's Fikayo Tomori returned in March after a two-month absence with a hamstring injury, while Crystal Palace's Gueye has only just returned after a two-month absence with a knee injury. Chelsea's Colwill is also back to fitness, having been sidelined since early March with a toe injury. The fitness of these three central defenders should be fine, but they don't play much.
Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings is sure to miss out on the Euros, having been sidelined since August with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
With so many issues affecting defenders, the all-rounder will be very important. Joe Gomez's ability to play on the sides could make Southgate tick. His Liverpool team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold can also play as a defender and in midfield.
midfielder
Southgate hopes Bellingham can survive the rest of the season. Real Madrid's midfielders still have three league games and one Champions League final before the end of the club's season on 1 June.
Bellingham, who has 22 goals and 10 assists for Real Madrid, will also be vital to Gareth Southgate's England side.
Declan Rice is equally important in providing support to Bellingham, but the personnel and exact position of the midfield three are yet to be decided.
If Southgate chooses a two-man midfield as carefully as he has in the past, Henderson could be of some use. However, he has made seven appearances in the Eredivisie and recently missed five games due to a muscle injury. He returned last weekend and played 81 minutes against Volendam.
Kalvin Phillips could also be up to the bottom of the picture, but his career has been hampered by injuries and a dip in form. He joined West Ham United on loan from Manchester City but was unable to play with a calf strain, and the season could be over there.
James Maddison's Spurs career got off to a bright start, but an ankle injury in November sidelined him for almost three months. He made his comeback in January but was out of form, playing the full 90 minutes only once since September. He came off the bench against Tottenham against Chelsea and Liverpool. Grealish has also struggled to find consistent form at Manchester City this season.
Mount also endured a disappointing season at Manchester United, missing four months with a calf injury.
Encouragingly, Conor Gallagher has played a big part in Chelsea's recent resurgence in form, while another young star, Maynou, has also made a breakthrough. The 19-year-old made his international debut against Belgium in March and put in an impressive performance.
Crystal Palace's Eze have been in impressive form since his return in March, scoring five goals in his last 10 matches. At Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp has been shouting for Elliott's selection.
Qian-hsien
Like Bellingham, captain Harry Kane is indispensable. His injury will seriously affect England's chances of qualifying. Kane has been in excellent goalscoring form, scoring a staggering 44 goals in 45 appearances, but Bayern missed out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in a decade and lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals. In that game, Kane went off in the final moments with back pain.
Watkins has scored 19 goals for Aston Villa this season and is England's undisputed number one substitute up front, but apart from him and Harry Kane, England appear to be lacking strikers.
Brentford's Ivan Toney was expected to return to form after returning from suspension, but he has only scored four times in 15 league games since his return.
Callum Wilson played eight international games under Gareth Southgate but struggled with injuries at Newcastle, missing a total of 23 games due to an accident hamstring and pect muscle injury that forced him to undergo surgery. He returned last month and scored two goals in three games as Southgate watched the 4-1 thrashing of Burnley live.
In the winger position, Gareth Southgate has plenty of options to choose from22-year-old Chelsea player Palmer has exploded this season, with 23-year-old Anthony Gordon being one of Newcastle's main attacking threats.
Manchester City's Phil Foden and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka have been in excellent form this season and are expected to secure a place in the main line-up.
Raheem Sterling, despite being named in the squad for the 2022 World Cup, appears to have been completely excluded from the squad for the European Championships.
Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is Southgate's only injury concern in attack, having missed the last four games with an ankle injury but is expected to recover before the end of the season.
They will have plenty of options for Southgate in less than two weeks, but at the same time there is a lot to think about at the same time.
