Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold was named in the England squad for Euro 2020 on Tuesday, while in-form Jesse Lingard missed out on a place in Gareth Southgate's 26-man group. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate's England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. Manchester United forward Lingard, who had a superb loan spell with West Ham, was the highest profile casualty as Southgate axed six players from his provisional squad. The 28-year-old was recalled to the England squad in March after a long exile. "For me personally, it was very difficult to speak to Jesse, who has given so much to England," Southgate said.
