A closer look at the seven players omitted from England's Euro 2020 squad

:Headline: A closer look at the seven players omitted from England's Euro 2020 squad:
The Three Lions group has been trimmed from 33 players to a 26-man squad.

Gareth Southgate has made a decision over which seven players will not be part of England's 26-man squad for the European Championships.

The Three Lions boss initially called up 33 players due to several fitness doubts and with a large chunk involved in the Champions League and Europa League finals last week, but that group has now been trimmed.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the seven players to miss out.

Aaron Ramsdale (Sheffield United, age 23, caps 0, goals 0)

Nick Pope's injury opened the door for a new face to be selected as third-choice goalkeeper, but the nod went to another player who suffered relegation this season, Sam Johnstone. Ramsdale, like the West Brom custodian, was a busy man between the sticks and produced some strong displays for Sheffield United, but was edged out by a rival who was with the England camp in March.

Ben White (Brighton, 23, 0, 0)

The 23-year-old was a surprise inclusion in Southgate's bigger group, but was rewarded for an impressive debut season in the top flight. The centre-back had also impressed during Leeds' promotion-winning campaign two years ago with his flexibility viewed as a big asset. While White is adept in a back three or back four, it was always expected this tournament was a little too early.

Ben Godfrey (Everton, 23, 0, 0)

A successful loan with West Ham got the playmaker's season back on track and he earned a place in Southgate's most recent squad, but the national team manager did admit the United ace was "lucky" to be involved with injuries elsewhere opening up a space. While Lingard finished the campaign with nine goals, too much competition in the attacking areas has seen him drop out.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, 25, 1, 1)

The teenager was the first of the seven to miss out when club side Manchester United revealed on Tuesday morning he had withdrawn from the squad in order to "recover fully from an underlying injury" which restricted his game-time in recent months. Although the 19-year-old only has one senior cap, his ability in front of goal put him in the running and eight goals from his last 14 games further added weight to that argument, but Greenwood's time is not now.
