Conor Gallagher and Cole Palmer have been included in England’s training squad for their pre-UEFA EURO 2024 fixtures against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iceland.
Gareth Southgate has named 33 players for the double-header, which will be the Three Lions’ final games before UEFA’s mandatory deadline for naming the 26-man EURO 2024 squads on June 8.
England will face Bosnia & Herzegovina on Monday, June 3, at Newcastle United’s St James’ Park before taking on Iceland at Wembley Stadium on Friday, June 7, with both fixtures kicking off at 7:45 pm.
The Three Lions will then travel to Germany for EURO 2024, with their campaign starting on Sunday, June 16. Group games against Denmark on Thursday, June 20, and Slovenia on Tuesday, June 25, will follow, with the ultimate aim of lifting their first senior men’s European Championship on Sunday, July 14.

Gallagher, who has 12 senior caps, has been included in every England squad bar one since making his debut in November 2021, and he also traveled to Qatar for the World Cup in 2022.
The Chelsea Academy graduate has represented England at every age group since under-17 level and was part of the squad that won the U17 World Cup in 2017.
Palmer, who also has a distinguished youth career, helped the Young Lions claim the Under-21 European Championship last summer.
He made his England senior team debut against Malta in November 2023. After moving to Chelsea from Manchester City last summer, the 22-year-old reached new heights for both club and country.
Palmer’s impressive performance at Chelsea earned him a maiden senior England call-up in November 2023, with his two caps coming later that month against Malta and North Macedonia.
Palmer’s exceptional season continued, with 25 goals and 15 assists in 45 games across all competitions, earning him the Premier League’s Young Player of the Year award, as well as the Player of the Year and Players’ Player of the Year trophies at club level.
