England has announced their squad numbers for the upcoming Euro 2024 campaign, signaling the beginning of the tournament fervor. Despite a setback with a surprising 1-0 defeat against Iceland on Friday, anticipation for the Euros is once again building up.
Key players have been allocated familiar numbers, with captain Harry Kane retaining the number nine, a role he’s held in the last four major tournaments. Rising star Jude Bellingham has been assigned the number ten jersey, while Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden will don the numbers seven and 11, respectively, following their impressive club performances this season. Cole Palmer, their positional rival, settles for number 24.
Manager Gareth Southgate’s tactical shift sees Trent Alexander-Arnold assigned the number eight, indicating his role as a midfielder rather than a right-back for Euro 2024. In the absence of Harry Maguire, Marc Guehi takes on the number six shirt.
