It's soon to be official: UEFA have finally decided, mere weeks before the start of the tournament, to up the number of players in each squad at Euro 2024 from 23 to 26.
Quite why the number was altered so close to the Euros, given that nothing has really changed since they decided to limit it to 23, seems a little bit odd. True, managers have been pushing for a change recently – presumably because they've started to dread having difficult conversations with players about leaving them at home – but such a situation was hardly unforeseeable.
