England’s national football team, led by manager Gareth Southgate, is set to conclude their preparations for Euro 2024 in a friendly showdown against Iceland at Wembley Stadium.

The Three Lions, fresh off a dominant victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina, are expected to showcase a stronger lineup against Iceland, including the return of star players such as Harry Kane and Kieran Trippier.

Gareth Southgate will likely field a formidable squad featuring the likes of Phil Foden, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Jude Bellingham, and Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo to fine-tune their game before facing Serbia in the upcoming European Championship.

Notable absences from the England squad include Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire, James Maddison, Curtis Jones, Jarrad Branthwaite, James Trafford, and Lewis Dunk, who were omitted from the final roster after the recent cuts.

England’s encounter with Iceland holds historical significance, as it brings back memories of the shock defeat suffered by the Three Lions to Iceland in the Euro 2016 tournament, a loss that marked the end of Roy Hodgson‘s tenure as manager.

The match at Wembley is crucial for England to assert their dominance and build momentum heading into Euro 2024, with fans eager to see their team deliver a strong performance against Iceland.

As anticipation grows for the tournament, Southgate’s squad will look to showcase their prowess and secure a convincing victory over Iceland in their final friendly before embarking on their Euro 2024 campaign.
