The winners and losers from England's provisional Euros squad

:Headline: The winners and losers from England's provisional Euros squad:
The group will be trimmed from 33 to 26 on June 1.
Sports Mole

England manager Gareth Southgate has named an expanded provisional 33-man squad for this summer's European Championship.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the winners and losers ahead of it being trimmed down to 26 players on June 1.

Winners

Trent Alexander-Arnold

The signs were not good for Alexander-Arnold when he was left out of the squad for the March friendlies after a drop-off in form for Liverpool. It was a telling omission, having been an important member of the group since making his debut in 2018. The competition for the right-back position is fierce, but a much-improved end to his club season saw Southgate restore him to the squad and he will now aim to avoid the seven-player cull next week.

Jordan Henderson

So important is the midfielder for Southgate that he has been named in the squad, despite having been out since February with a troublesome groin injury. However, he is nearing fitness and the England boss took a gamble after receiving positive medical reports on his condition. Henderson has been a lynchpin of the midfield in recent times and will be a starter if fit.

Ben White

The 23-year-old is a surprise inclusion in Southgate's bigger group, but has been rewarded for an impressive season for Brighton, which followed a highly successful loan spell at Leeds in 2019/20. He started 36 of 38 Premier League games for the Seagulls and his versatility will be an asset to the Three Lions. He can operate in a back three, back four and also in a holding midfield role.

Ben Godfrey

The Everton defender is another one who can play more than one position across the back line. Godfrey, who joined the Toffees from Norwich last September, enjoyed an impressive season, predominantly in a central role. But he also filled in at right-back and left-back, making him an attractive proposition for Southgate.

Sam Johnstone

Johnstone is a beneficiary of an injury to Nick Pope and gets the call-up as Southgate's third-choice goalkeeper. The West Brom stopper was certainly kept busy as his side suffered Premier League relegation, but their fate would have been sealed far sooner had it not been for his form. No other keeper in the division made more saves than his 154 and he looked assured.

Aaron Ramsdale

The Sheffield United goalkeeper gets the call as a fourth goalkeeper after an impressive season in a struggling side. Like Johnstone, he faced plenty of shots playing behind a leaky Blades defence. He has recent tournament experience with the England Under-21s and he will be battling with the Baggies goalkeeper to make it into the 26-man squad.

Jesse Lingard

Harry Kane is the only Englishman to score more Premier League goals than Bamford this season, but even netting in front of the watching Southgate has not been enough to turn the manager's head. The classy 27-year-old bagged 17 times in 38 appearances on Leeds' brilliant return to the top flight, where he was also excellent in link-up play, but will be watching the tournament from the beach.

Danny Ings

Ings scored in a friendly against Wales in the autumn but did not hit the scoring heights of last season, ending with just 13 goals in all competitions for Southampton and did not feature in the most recent squad. He has been linked with a move away from St Mary's this season and could now concentrate on sealing a possible transfer away from a tournament bubble.

James Maddison

The writing was on the wall for Maddison after Southgate was asked about discipline in the wake of the Leicester playing breaching lockdown rules by attending a party. The England boss is keen to avoid any off-field problems and, playing in a position where England are very strong, Maddison has missed the cut despite an impressive season for Leicester.
