LONDON — Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold earned a recall in a 33-man provisional England squad for Euro 2020 on Tuesday as manager Gareth Southgate played for time before whittling the numbers down.
The right-back was dropped in March for World Cup qualifiers but he made the cut in a squad that will be reduced to 26 players ahead of a June 1 UEFA deadline.
Luis Enrique hoy dio a conocer la convocatoria de España para la Eurocopa con un par de sorpresas mayúsculas: la exclusión de Sergio Ramos y la ausencia de jugadores del Real Madrid en la lista.
Nunca antes una selección española había acudido a un torneo mayor -Mundial o Euro- sin futbolistas merengues. Su decisión, obviamente, incendió a los sectores fundamentalistas del madridismo.

MADRID — Spain coach Luis Enrique left captain Sergio Ramos out of his squad for Euro 2020 on Monday, meaning that there will be no Real Madrid players representing Spain at a major tournament for the first time in the club's history.

Not long ago, Central Scotland was home to a generational footballing talent. Scouts from across Europe descended on the coastal city of Dundee to watch teenage sensation Ryan Gauld as he slalomed past Premiership defenders and picked apart backlines with his inch-perfect passes.
Standing 5-5 (he has since grown to 5-7) with an innate quickness and a deft left foot, Gauld quickly drew comparisons to Lionel Messi — gaining him nicknames such as: "Baby Messi," "Mini Messi" and "Aberdeen Messi" (the last one a tribute to the youngster's hometown).
Todos conocemos, más o menos, la maldición de Aaron Ramsey. En caso que no, un rápido recordatorio: cada vez que hace un gol, muere un famoso. Obviamente es una exageración, pero hay varios ejemplos de coincidencia que a uno lo hacen pensar. Y en esa línea, aquí presentamos una nueva maldición, la maldición de Reinaldo Rueda. ¿En qué consiste? Nación que dirige entra en crisis social.
Casos de exposición: Honduras, Ecuador, Chile y Colombia. Hay hasta un meme dando vueltas.
PARIS - Kylian Mbappé said he is delighted at the prospect of teaming up with Karim Benzema in the French side at next month’s European Championship.
Real Madrid striker Benzema was included in the squad on Tuesday after he and coach Didier Deschamps resolved their differences. His return ended a six-year absence from the French team, including missing out of their World Cup triumph in Russia in 2018.
Juventus claimed the 2020-21 Coppa Italia 2-1 with a commanding second-half display against Atalanta at the Mapei Stadium on Wednesday night.

4,300 fans were allowed into the stadium in northern Italy, amounting to the country’s largest attendance since the pandemic began.
No footwear brand has been making waves like New Balance over the past year. Sadio Mané’s FURON V6+ boots ran the spring game, Rose Lavelle’s signature Tekela cleats were pure artistry and now the company is riding with Raheem Sterling, who officially made the switch to New Balance after his contract with Nike came to an end.
