Euro 2024 LIVE: Gareth Southgate goes against the grain as Germans chastise Anthony Taylor | Football | Sport

Uncapped Brentford star Rico Henry has criticised Gareth Southgate for not taking him to Euro 2024.

Luke Shaw was the only recognised left-back taken to the tournament, but he has not played in Germany as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Kieran Trippier started on the left of a back four in each of England’s first four games – although Southgate seems set to switch to a back three tonight against Switzerland.

Henry believes he could have made a difference at the tournament.

“It’s been difficult watching England at Euro 2024 playing without an out-and-out left-back because I know I could do a job there,” he told Brentford’s official website.

“Luke Shaw has been struggling with an injury and we haven’t got any other left-footed full-backs in the squad.

“And, when I’ve watched them this summer, I just feel like I could fit so well into that team. It has been frustrating not being there but it’s also been great to watch, seeing them doing well and getting into the quarter-finals.”
