Former Aston Villa man 'devastated' after England Euro 2024 axe

Jack Grealish, James Maddison and Harry Maguire were all left "devastated" by Gareth Southgate's decision to cut them from England's final Euro 2024 squad.An initial 33-man training squad needed trimming to 26 players by 11pm on Friday, just over an hour after their last warm-up friendly against Iceland finishes.

Maddison wrote on social media:"Devastated doesn't quite cut it. Trained well and worked hard all week but if I'm honest with myself, my form for Spurs when coming back from injury in the second half of the season probably wasn't at the levels I had set which gave Gareth a decision to make. Asked about the City forward's drop in form this season, the England boss said:"I don't think today would be a good day to talk about the bigger picture. I don't think that would be fair.

The 31-year-old defender picked up a calf injury in training in early May and Manchester United thought he could be back for the FA Cup final, but a slow recovery time ruled him out of that and now the Euros.
