- LISTEN to It’s All Kicking Off! How Southgate made it enjoyable to play for England again
Gareth Southgate has offered a positive fitness update ahead of England’s Euro 2024 opener.
England take on Serbia as they look to kick start their campaign with a win over their Group C rivals at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen.
Speaking to reporters ahead of Sunday’s clash, Southgate revealed that all of his players have been able to train with the group.
‘Everyone is available. We have a decision whether Luke [Shaw] is possible to use from the bench or not. But everybody has trained today and is available.’
The question of Shaw’s inclusion has hung over England since Southate’s final 26-man squad was announced earlier this month.

Shaw hasn’t played since February since suffering a hamstring injury as Man United defeated Luton
The only naturally left-footed defender in the England camp, Shaw has long been an integral part of Southgate’s England, and netted in their agonising Euro 2020 final defeat three years ago.
However, the Manchester United star suffered a hamstring injury in the club’s win over Luton at Kenilworth Road back in February and hasn’t played a competitive fixture since.
In Shaw’s absence Kieran Trippier is expected to star at left-back, with the Newcastle star having previously deputised in the position for England.
