Gareth Southgate has just under a month to decide on his final 26-man squad for the Euros, who are some of the players that could miss out?
The Euro 2024 competition kicks off in just over a month and England manager Gareth Southgate is in the unenviable position of picking out a final squad from the host of talent England possesses.
His decision will no doubt have been made slightly easier by the recent decision to allow each team to take 26 players to the tournament rather than the originally agreed 23.
However, with an abundance of talent at his finger tips, top performers such as Jadon Sancho look set to miss the cut according to the current England Euro 2024 squad odds market.

England Euro 2024 Squad Odds
The table below shows the 10 players who are currently occupying the 20th to the 30th spots in the odds market and thus on the fringes of being on the plane to Germany this summer according to the bookies.
| Selection Priority (Based On Odds) | Player | Best Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | Anthony Gordon | 8/15 | 65% |
| 21 | Luke Shaw | 4/6 | 60% |
| 22 | Marcus Rashford | 4/6 | 60% |
| 23 | Jordan Henderson | 4/6 | 60% |
| 24 | Ivan Toney | 4/6 | 60% |
| 25 | Jack Grealish | 8/11 | 58% |
| 26 | Nick Pope | 5/6 | 55% |
| 27 | Joe Gomez | 10/11 | 52% |
| 28 | Jarrod Bowen | 10/11 | 52% |
| 29 | Marc Guehi | 1/1 | 50% |
| 30 | Jarrad Branthwaite | 1/1 | 50% |
With the new squad size allowance increasing to 26 from 23, Toney, Grealish and Pope are the three most likely candidates to make the cut as they occupy the 24th, 25th and 26th spots in the betting.
Joe Gomez, Jarrod Bowen, Marc Guehi and Jarrad Branthwaite stand on the precipice of making of the squad according to the odds and will no doubt be the players causing Southgate endless stress as he looks to select a squad that gives the tournament favourites the best chance of living up to expectations.
However, they aren't the only players who are still in with a chance as Dunk, Konsa and Henderson can also all be found at an odds on shortest price but sit outside the top 26 most likely candidates based on best odds.
Jadon Sancho Euro 2024 Odds
| Player | Best Odds | Worst Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Jadon Sancho | 5/1 | 4/1 |
It might come as some surprise to hear that all of the aforementioned players are ahead of Jadon Sancho in the betting.
The Champions League finalist, who has reinvented himself since returning to Dortmund on loan from Manchester United, currently has 40 players in front of him in the pecking order for England's Euro 2024 squad selection.
Despite his impressive performances in both legs of the Champions League Semi-Finals, the young Englishman has been given just a 17% chance of heading to Germany this summer at longest odds of 5/1.
