England have named West Ham United captain Declan Rice in their squad to face Malta and North Macedonia in qualification matches for the 2024 European Championships.
The Three Lions head to Malta on Friday, June 16 before facing North Macedonia at Wembley Stadium three days later.
Rice, who has 41 caps for his country, and has played in 14 of his country’s last 15 matches is perhaps no surprise to be included in the squad, but the matches do come just days after the Hammers ’ Europa Conference League final with Fiorentina in Prague on Wednesday, June 7.
