This is mad - surely UEFA should be pressuring them more here and shouldn't have let them get this far? Insane crisis from the BFS though

I get Southgate's POV honestly. Very few squads before the Euros now to prove himself in a position where competition is immense.

Who would you leave out for James? Walker proven time and time again to be quality for England, and still for club. Trippier has been the best RB in the Prem for around a season and a half, and also plays well in an England shirt. Trent has his place in the squad as a genuine midfield option but obviously can play RB if needed too. There surely isn't room for 4 right backs?
