UEFA EURO 2024 – England is all set to compete for an international trophy. England Euro 2024 squad is blessed with a lot of talented players. Jadon Sancho has proven to be one of the world’s most promising attackers in recent years but he is not playing for England. Fans want to know Why Jadon Sancho is not playing for England in UEFA EURO 2024 ?
Why is Jadon Sancho not playing for England at EURO 2024 ?
Jadon Sancho is undoubtedly one of Europe’s best creators. The Englishman is normally positioned on the right wing but is equally capable on the opposite flank where he is given more opportunities at goal. In games, he would normally occupy the half spaces whenever the wingbacks are holding the width, this opens up more passing lanes for him to conjure up opportunities. It’s a bewildering situation to see Jadon Sancho not included in England squad.
Why is Jadon Sancho not playing for England at EURO 2024 ?
The reason behind his absence is that Sancho has not been selected in the England’s squad for EURO 2024. Due to the vast availability of forwards in England, Sancho didn’t get a place in the final squad. The preferred position of Sancho is right wing. Phil Foden and Jack Grealish also play at that similar position. Foden has impressed everyone with his performances for Manchester City. Even if the positions are adjusted then also there are plenty of attackers in England squad. Harry Kane is the first name in the starting XI so he cannot be put out from the team. The following are the forwards in England Euro 2024 Squad :
Phil Foden (Manchester City)
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
Jack Grealish (Aston Villa)
Harry Kane (Tottenham)
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Another reason Why is Jadon Sancho not playing for England at EURO 2024 is that Sancho hasn’t been exposed to as many England fans compared to his teammates by way of playing in Germany. He was simply not selected by Southgate after performing poorly in the warm-up friendlies.
Gareth Southgate explains why Jadon Sancho has not featured yet for England
“We’ve got some explosive options and a lot of them are young players and experiencing a big tournament for the first time. So as a coaching staff we are realistic about our expectations of them as individuals. Jadon is in that mix. He’s trained well the last few days and of course we have got those options and those decisions to make.”
