Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho are left out ENTIRELY by Gareth Southgate as England’s two misfits appear to be bottom of the pecking order after failing to even make the bench against Croatia
Jadon Sancho and Ben Chilwell were not named in Gareth Southgate‘s first matchday squad for England’s Euro 2020 against Croatia on Sunday.
The Three Lions will kick off their campaign at Wembley this afternoon as one of the favourites to win the entire competition this summer.
But Sancho, who ended the season strongly with Borussia Dortmund, and Chelsea‘s Champions League winner Chilwell were not named in the 23-man matchday squad for Sunday’s match.

Three Lions boss Southgate had to trim three names from the 26-man tournament squad due to UEFA’s matchday rules. Centre-back Harry Maguire was the other name not listed in the squad for the Croatia game as he recovers from an injury.
The Manchester United captain is also expected to miss England’s second Euro 2020 group game with Scotland on Friday night, though could return for the final match with Czech Republic on June 22.
