German and English FA form alliance to block Euro 2020 squad increase
Daily MailThe FA are working with their German counterparts to block proposals for larger squads at this summer's Euros. England manager Gareth Southgate is against the idea for a squad increase at Euro 2020 The 50-year-old also has concerns that a bigger squad could be harder to manage due to the inevitable frustrations felt by those who do not feature, and is eager to avoid dragging fringe players away from their families during the summer. Southgate didn't use his full squad when England reached the World Cup semi-finals in 2018 In England's disastrous Euro 2016 campaign, which ended with a humiliating last-16 defeat by Iceland, John Stones, James Milner, Ross Barkley and reserve goalkeepers Tom Heaton and Fraser Forster were also unused by Roy Hodgson, and Jordan Henderson, Ryan Bertrand and Nathaniel Clyne only made a single appearance each. Holland coach Frank de Boer and Italy boss Roberto Mancini have injury concerns over key players Virgil van Dijk and Giorgio Chiellini respectively, and bigger squads would enable them to take more risks with selection. Holland boss Frank de Boer believes the increase in numbers will be help manage injuries Southgate has fitness concerns over Henderson, Jack Grealish and Declan Rice, but considers 23 players adequate cover.
