Ben Godfrey named in provisional England squad for Euro 2020

After a solid run in the Everton side to close out the ultimately disappointing season, versatile and tough-tackling youngster Ben Godfrey was named in Gareth Southgate’s provision 33-man squad for the upcoming European Championships to be played this summer.

Current starting goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has retained his spot in the side after answering his critics with a series of stable and sparkling performances that have cemented his status in the Three Lions squad, while striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is also in following his personal best season for the Blues with 21 goals.

However, central defender Michael Keane has been a casualty of the Toffees’ stuttering defensive performances, having been dropped from the England set-up for the last round of international friendlies, and now overlooked by Southgate in the provisional squad for the tournament that starts on June 11th.

The full squad is listed below -
