England’s players and manager posed for their official portraits ahead of the start of Euro 2024 this week

England’s stars have posed for their official portraits ahead of Euro 2024 getting underway later this week.

Gareth Southgate’s 26-man squad are preparing for their opening Group C clash against Serbia on Sunday, before further games against Denmark and Slovenia as they look to qualify for the knockout stages in Germany.

England reached the final of Euro 2020 where they lost to Italy in a penalty shootout at Wembley, so the Three Lions will be hoping to go one step further this time around.

Captain Harry Kane brings his experience to the table, as well as a year of playing in German stadiums with Bayern Munich, but there are also plenty of tournament debutants who will look to shine on one of the world’s biggest stages.

Each outfield player was pictured wearing England’s home white kit with blue trim, standing in front of a light grey backdrop, while Southgate was also pictured in his M&S outfit as he prepares to lead his country into another major tournament.

The three goalkeepers were each in their bright orange kit for the occasion.

The full Three Lions squad is: Dean Henderson, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Marc Guehi, Ezri Konsa, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice, Adam Wharton, Jude Bellingham, Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze, Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins.
