Jack Grealish, who was not included in the final 26-man squad for England’s Euro 2024 opener against Serbia, used social media to send well wishes to his team-mates. Despite being the most notable exclusion, Grealish struggled with form and fitness last season. The team faces Denmark on Thursday and Slovenia on June 25.

Grealish acknowledged the quality of the players chosen by Gareth Southgate, stating that they all had exceptional seasons. He emphasized the importance of merit in team selection, asserting that players should be chosen based on their performance for their club, which then earns them a place in the national team.
