UEFA 'loophole' means Jack Grealish could yet be called up by England for Euro 2024

Image
Jack Grealish and James Maddison, surprisingly omitted from Gareth Southgate's final 26-man England squad for Euro 2024, could potentially be called upon in an emergency scenario. Southgate opted for young talents Eberechi Eze and Adam Wharton over the more established Grealish and Maddison. However, a specific UEFA regulation offers a lifeline, albeit a slim one, for the overlooked players. Article 48 of UEFA's tournament regulations allows for squad changes due to serious injuries or illness. The key caveat is that the player's condition must be confirmed as sufficiently serious to prevent participation by both the team doctor and a designated UEFA medical official. This means Grealish and Maddison, despite their exclusion, could be brought in if a current squad member suffers a major setback. There's an additional hurdle for Grealish, though. Reports indicate he's currently enjoying a vacation in Dubai, potentially delaying his response to a late call-up. Maddiso...

Image
Netherlands Finalized Euro 2024 Squad : The Netherlands, looking to end their 36-year trophy drought, have finalized their 26-man squad for Euro 2024 in Germany. Head coach Ronald Koeman made some tough decisions, including late injury withdrawals from key players Frenkie de Jong and Teun Koopmeiners. Key Decisions and Enforced Changes Koeman's initial provisional squad announcement in May raised eyebrows with the omission of Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber due to a long-term injury. While his twin brother Quinten made the provisional cut, he was ultimately left out of the final squad. The most significant changes came just before the tournament. Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong, a midfield lynchpin, was forced to withdraw due to an ankle injury. Midfielder Teun Koopmeiners also suffered an injury setback, requiring a replacement. Rising Star Replaces de Jong Chelsea's Ian Maatsen, fresh off a Champions League final appearance on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has been called up as ...
