England’s Euro 2024 fixtures: Group, full schedule and latest odds

Gareth Southgate is keeping an open mind about staying with England beyond Euro 2024 this summer.

The 53-year-old is under contract until December and accepts it is possible he may not even be in charge by the time England play Nations League matches against the Republic of Ireland, Greece and Finland in the autumn.

However, he insists his decision is not yet made either way and remains open to the possibility of staying on and working with England’s exciting crop of players, led by Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham.

“There’s a fair chance half the coaches won’t be here after the Euros. That’s international football,” he said.

“You’ve got to see how the summer goes. It’s as simple as that. In my view, I know what we’re capable of achieving in the summer, I know what my own benchmark of success would be, after that I’m not really thinking about anything else.

“Without a doubt it’s exciting to take the team, it’s always been exciting to take the team, whatever the strengths of the squad. In the end, we’ve got to deliver a performance and you’ve got to make the best decisions for everybody. I won’t be in a position to make that decision before the tournament.”

England are in Group C alongside Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia.

The top two teams from each group of four will qualify for the round of 16, along with the four best third-place teams. The tournament will then follow a one-leg knock-out format until the champion is crowned in the final.

June 16: vs Serbia, Gelsenkirchen, 8pm (BST)
June 20: vs Denmark, Frankfurt, 5pm (BST)
June 25: vs Slovenia, Cologne, 8pm BST

Luke Shaw is set to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury and faces a race against the clock to prove his fitness before the European Championship.

The Manchester United full-back, 28, was substituted two minutes into the second half of a win over Luton Town and, after undergoing tests to determine the extent of the problem, is expected to miss three months of action to recover.

Shaw, when fit, is in Southgate’s plans for the Euros and the England manager will be anxiously waiting for fitness updates. With squads reduced to 23 players, rather than 26, he is less inclined to take risks on players who need time to recover during the group stage of the tournament.

The injury is a blow to Shaw after he was injured in the second match of the season and was out for three months with a muscle problem. He was also absent for games over the Christmas period.

For England, Southgate has Ben Chilwell back fit to compete for a place in his squad, while Kieran Trippier has played on the left and Levi Colwill has been used there for Chelsea, earning him a call-up this season.
