Southgate Shuffles the Pack: Phillips Misses Out on England Call-Up

Kalvin Phillips has been left out of the England squad for the upcoming matches against Brazil and Belgium while Jarrad Branthwaite and Anthony Gordon have received their debut call-ups. Gareth Southgate has also brought back Ivan Toney and Joe Gomez.

Toney’s return to form with Brentford has earned him a place back in the national team, while Phillips’ lack of game time at Manchester City and struggles on loan at West Ham have led to his exclusion. Gomez returns to the squad and Branthwaite gets his first senior call-up.

Southgate’s squad announcement ahead of the European Championship signifies the end of speculation surrounding Phillips’ international future. Despite his previous contributions to the team, his limited appearances this season have put his Euros participation at risk.

Meanwhile, Jack Grealish misses out due to injury and competition for places in the squad is fierce with players like Jarrod Bowen, Cole Palmer and Anthony Gordon vying for spots.
