The England gaffer has expressed his concerns about Jordan Pickford’s prospects of retaining his position as the top shot-stopper for the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament, in the event of Everton’s relegation from the Premier League. The manager cited the contrasting calibre of football played in the Championship as the primary reason for his apprehension.JAMB Result

Maguire’s performance has presented a genuine challenge for Southgate, as he has emerged as a crucial centre-back in a position that lacks elite-level proficiency. The decrease in playing time for him at United this season has provided his national team coach with additional considerations. Furthermore, the coach noted that Kalvin Phillips has also seen limited action at Manchester City.

“Inevitably it’s not a situation that can continue forever,” Southgate said as he announced his squad for next month’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia. “It’s like Kalvin Phillips, they are important players for us and with Kalvin we haven’t got many players who can play as that single pivot.

“Of course the longer that situation goes on the more concerning it is and we’ve got in Marc Guehi, Lewis Dunk, Tyrone Mings, players who are playing well without the same experiences of club European football or international football. But we’ve got to keep searching for competition in that area of the pitch.”NYSC Portal
