Gareth Southgate explains Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben White and Raheem Sterling snubs

Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Raheem Sterling is missing from his latest England squad due to injury - whereas Ben White and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been snubbed.

The Three Lions boss named his 25-man roster on Thursday for the upcoming clashes with Italy and Ukraine, as England begin their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. Southgate and Co. travel to Naples in a week's time to face their old Italian rivals before welcoming a side from war-torn Ukraine to Wembley next Sunday.

While Ivan Toney has received a call-up amid a Football Association investigation into his 232 alleged betting offences, the trio of Alexander-Arnold, White and Sterling are absent. "Raheem is not fit, so that's that one," Southgate explained at a press conference on Thursday to explain his selection choices.
