The England manager told the BBC and other media outlets:

"The most complex part has been those injuries and whether we should take the chance on people - players like Jordan Henderson and Harry Maguire not being quite where they normally are.

"With the experience that they have, we think we can get them to a point where they have an involvement in the tournament and it's worth taking them - especially as we have an extended squad of 26."

Manchester United's Jesse Lingard, a player who spent the second half of the season on loan at West Ham, misses out on the squad. Southgate also offered some insight into this.
