Sterling out but four other Chelsea players in England squad for Euro 2024 qualifiers

Gareth Southgate has announced the England squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine later this month.

The 25-man squad includes Reece James, Ben Chilwell, Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher - but not Raheem Sterling.

"Raheem is not fit, so that’s that. Yes, absolutely (I would have selected him if he was fit)," Southgate told a press conference.

Intriguingly, Southgate thought differently when calling up James and Mount who have missed a few games recently.
