After much speculation, the players that will make up England's Euro 2016 squad have been announced.

Three goalkeeper have been named in the 26-man squad for pre-tournament friendlies: Joe Hart, Fraser Forster and Tom Heaton. The seven defenders that get the nod are Ryan Bertrand, Gary Cahill, Nathaniel Clyne, Danny Rose, Chris Smalling, John Stones and Kyle Walker. Of the eleven midfielders, Jack Wilshere has made the cut - despite only recently returning from injury. One surprise name might be Andros Townsend who many people believe has earned a place in the squad thanks to Danny Welbeck's recent knee injury. Wayne Rooney is named as one of the five strikers, as is young Manchester United team-mate Marcus Rashford. The full squad can be seen below. https://twitter.com/england/status/732148694129246208 Hodgson will trip the squad down to 23 after next week's friendlies.
