Rashford and Grealish are facing challenges this season at their respective clubs, which may jeopardize their chances of participating in Euro 2024. Grealish has been hampered by injuries throughout the current season, featuring in only seven Premier League matches for Manchester City. On the other hand, Rashford, although a regular player for Manchester United, has struggled to showcase his best performance.
Despite the situation, England’s manager, Gareth Southgate, has a variety of options for wide positions, as seen in his recent squad selection for friendlies against Belgium and Brazil, where Jarrod Bowen, Cole Palmer, and Anthony Gordon were included. These players are likely contenders for spots in Southgate’s final squad, alongside Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden, provided they recover from their injuries.
Southgate assured reporters that Grealish remains in consideration, having communicated with him before naming the squad. However, Gordon and Bowen have been impressive, adding pressure on Rashford and Grealish. Anthony Gordon’s consistent performances for his club have been noted, while Bowen’s contributions during the training camp have been commendable.
Southgate emphasized the competition for places in the wide areas, expressing regret that Cole Palmer missed significant training time, affecting his chances to feature in the recent friendly against Belgium. Nevertheless, Southgate remains open to considering Palmer for future opportunities.
Both Rashford and Grealish need to demonstrate their abilities convincingly before the end of the season to secure their positions in the Euro 2024 squad. Rashford has shown glimpses of his potential with three goals in his last three matches for Manchester United before the international break. Meanwhile, Grealish, who has been sidelined due to a groin injury for over a month, has resumed training with Manchester City.
