England squad: ‘Surprise inclusion’ is ‘cut’ by Southgate after ‘devastated’ Maddison is dropped

According to reports, Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford has been cut from Gareth Southgate s England squad for the European Championships.

Trafford was included in s provisional 33-man squad despite slipping down the pecking order at Burnley during the Premier League run-in.

The 21-year-old shone for U21s at last summer s European Championships as they won the tournament but he struggled during his debut season at Turf Moor following his £15m move from Manchester City.

Despite this, Trafford is considered a potential long-term successor to Jordan Pickford in the England reckoning and was included in Southgate s initial squad along with the Everton star, Dean Henderson and Aaron Ramsdale.
