GARETH SOUTHGATE has left Ben Chilwell AND Jadon Sancho out of England’s squad for their Euro 2020 opener against Croatia and fans are baffled.
Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker are the two recognised full-backs in the Three Lions’ starting XI while Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden are expected to play on the wings.
Jadon Sancho and Ben Chilwell have been omitted from England’s squad to face Croatia
No explanation has been given for the pair’s omission yet but Southgate is expected to update fans during his pre-match interview.
With the duo not even on the bench, rumours have been circulating on social media with supporters completely stunned by the move.
Olivia Buzaglo wrote: “Chilwell and Sancho left out of the England squad. I’m shocked.”
Patrick Timmons tweeted: “Grealish benched. No Shaw. Chilwell not in the squad. Trippier at left-back. Sancho not even on the bench.”
And another fan chipped in with: “Sancho & Chilwell not on the bench, either they’re not fully fit or Southgate is playing with fire here.”
England’s line-up was leaked earlier today with fans shocked to see neither Chilwell or Manchester United ace Luke Shaw selected at left-back.
Southgate’s men will have home advantage when they host 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia at Wembley.
And they will do so with a back four in a 4-2-3-1 formation, instead of a three-man defence with wing-backs.
