LONDON : England manager Gareth Southgate has made his first two cuts for his European Championship squad, sending midfielders James Maddison and Curtis Jones home, the Football Association said on Thursday.
Various media reports said Jarell Quansah was also among those to suffer the axe, although that was not confirmed by the FA.
Southgate must release five more players to reach the 26-man squad limit by UEFA’s Friday deadline.
England had 27 players in training on Thursday, ahead of their final warm-up game on Friday against Iceland at Wembley, with Lewis Dunk, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw all following individual programmes while they recover from injuries.

Tottenham’s Maddison has seven caps for England while Jones has yet to make his first appearance for the senior squad.
