Eze has never represented the Three Lions at any major tournament before.
In May 2021, Eze was called up to the senior England squad for the first time, as part of Gareth Southgate’s 33-man provisional squad for Euro 2020, but on the same day was injured during a training session.
In May 2023, Southgate again called Eze up to the England squad. He made his senior debut on 16 June, appearing as a 70th-minute substitute for James Maddison in a 4–0 UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying win against Malta.
This appearance meant he could no longer represent Nigeria after this point.
He was immense for Palace in the just concluded Premier League season, scoring 11 goals, providing four assists in 27 games.
Meanwhile, former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson will miss out on England’s provisional Euro 2024 squad,
The 32-year-old has been a regular inclusion in the England set-up for over a decade, though questions over his Three Lions future will now be raised as Gareth Southgate has appeared to look to alternative options.
It comes after Henderson’s controversial move to Al-Ettifaq last summer, in a move that lasted just five months, before the former Liverpool skipper moved to Ajax in January.
The move to the Dutch giants was seen to boost his hopes of making the Euro 2024 squad, however it appears he will be left out of the expanded squad which is to be announced this afternoon.
His former Liverpool team-mate Curtis Jones is set to benefit from Henderson’s exclusion, with the midfielder appearing to be on the verge of winning his first senior cap.
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill is set to make the provisional squad despite not playing in the final months of the season due to injury.
Luke Shaw, who has struggled throughout the season for fitness at Manchester United, is set to be included despite not playing since the Red Devils faced Luton on Februar 18.
