Gareth Southgate has a very depleted squad for the upcoming EURO 2024 qualifying games. Many stars are missing due to injuries. Manchester United and Manchester City stars Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips have been permitted to join the team slightly later in the week as they have personal matters to attend to.
