England manager Gareth Southgate has allegedly dropped Tottenham Hotspur attacker James Maddison from the England squad for this summer’s European Championship.
According to multiple reports, Maddison has already left Camp and will not be available for England’s last warm up game.
Maddison was included in Gareth Southgate’s preliminary squad selection, and he was involved in Monday’s international friendly with Bosnia-Herzegovina.

However, the Spurs playmaker failed to convince Southgate with his performance.
According to The Athletic, Maddison has been informed by Southgate that he would not be a part of the squad for the European Championship.
The attacker has been capped on seven occasions by England, while he made 30 appearances for Tottenham last season following a move from Leicester City, scoring four times and registering nine assists.
Six more players from the preliminary squad will be left out when England’s final selection is confirmed. One of the four goalkeepers will be cut, while defenders like Jarrad Branthwaite, Jarell Quansah, Ezri Konsa, Joe Gomez and Lewis Dunk will all be nervously awaiting the final verdict.
