Maddison was chosen to be a part of a group of 33 players for training. This group was then picked to play two friendly games against Bosnia and Herzegovina. England went on to win 3-0 on Monday. Maddison only made a brief appearance towards the end of the match against Bosnia. Unfortunately, he has recently been informed that he did not make it onto the final list.

Reports suggest that Liverpool's Curtis Jones and Jarrell Quansah are unlikely to be included in the squad. Despite being part of the 33-man squad, they did not play against Bosnia to prove their worth. The same goes for Brentford's Ivan Toney and Burnley's James Trafford, who are reportedly also in danger of missing out.

England needs to provide Uefa their roster of 26 players before 11pm on Friday, which is right after their match with Iceland ends. The decision will be formally declared by the Football Association the next day. Keep track of the newest updates and happenings from the England team leading up to Euro 2024 down below.
