Chelsea attacker Raheem Sterling and England striker Eddie Nketiah have been left out of the England squad for November’s Euro 2024 qualifiers with Malta and North Macedonia.
The Three Lions have already confirmed their place at next year’s tournament in Germany, taking 16 points from six games in Group C to seal a first-placed finish with two matches to spare.
England are yet to guarantee a first-placed finish, though, and they will welcome Malta to Wembley on November 17 for their penultimate fixture before taking on North Macedonia in Skopje three days later.
Gareth Southgate has stuck with the majority of players from October’s wins over Australia and Italy for his 25-man squad, meaning that Chelsea’s Sterling is once again absent from the group.
The former Liverpool man has not represented his nation since the 2022 World Cup but has begun November positively, scoring in an EFL Cup win over Blackburn Rovers before providing an assist for Nicolas Jackson in a 4-1 crushing of Tottenham Hotspur.
