Kieran Trippier - Nursing calf injury Trippier is in question for Tuesday's match against Slovenia due to a calf issue, according to Matt Law of Yahoo Sports.

Impact Trippier has played the full 90 in both of England's matches thus far but still has been dealing with cramps on the field, with further information now revealing he has some calf pains. This could be a dire situation for the Three Lions, as they are already without Luke Shaw until the knockout stages, and without Trippier, they will have to find a new replacement at left-back. He will likely see a late fitness test to decide his availability, but if he isn't fit to compete, expect Ezri Konsa or Joe Gomez to fill in at left-back.

Fabian Schar - In lineup Schar (nose) is back in the lineup for Sunday's match against Germany.

Impact Schar is back for the Swiss despite breaking his nose during the last match. He is starting alongside Ricardo Rodriguez and Manuel Akanji in the back line against host nation Germany.

Martin Dubravka - Concedes two against Ukraine Dubravka made three saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss to Ukraine.

Impact Dubravka recorded three saves, but was unable to prevent goals in the 54th and 80th minute. He has started both games in the tournament and has recorded eight saves while also registering an impressive clean sheet against Belgium. He will be expected to start the next game against Romania.

Fabian Schar - Breaks nose Schar played with a broken nose for most of the match Wednesday and is set for further evaluation, reports the SRF Swiss Radio and Television.

Impact Schar will be day to day after breaking his nose during the draw against Scotland. He had started and played both group games for Switzerland, recording eight clearances and five interceptions. The defender will not need surgery, however will have to see if he is able to train without a mask before the final group clash against Germany.

Martin Dubravka - Secures clean sheet in win Dubravka registered five saves and allowed zero goals in Monday's 1-0 victory against Belgium.

Impact Dubravka notched a clean sheet in the first group stage match as he made five saves. He was fortunate to keep the score at zero as he was beaten twice; however, they were both disallowed after a VAR check. Next, he'll face off against Ukraine.

Kieran Trippier - Picks up cramp in opener Trippier was only dealing with a cramp in Sunday's 1-0 win against Serbia, according to manager Gareth Southgate, per Joe Buck of The Shields Gazette. "Trippier was just a cramp. A...

Impact Trippier was thought to have been dealing with a minor injury, but those concerns were quickly dismissed, as it is now known he was only dealing with a cramp. This is bright news for the national team, as they are already dealing with an injured Luke Shaw, who Trippier is currently filling in for at left-back. However, with Shaw close to a return, this could be his last game as a starter, but he will likely still see minutes off the bench during the tournament.

Lloyd Kelly - Joins Newcastle Kelly has agreed on a deal to join Newcastle for the 2024/25 season.

Impact Over the course of his career, Kelly has accumulated more than five years of experience playing in the Premier League after spending the last five season with Bournemouth. In the previous campaign, he was the starting player in 17 of the 23 matches he appeared in, recording an assist on 21 crosses (five of which were accurate), 24 tackles (19 of which he won), and 59 clearances. He will start off as a depth option for the team with the main starting option at left back being Dan Burn, with Lewis Hall as another option as well.

England vs Iceland: Anthony Gordon calls defeat a wake-up call Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon believes England can use their loss to Iceland as a wake up call before the Euros.

JUNE 7 • SKY.COM

Anthony Gordon - Busy in loss Gordon started and played 65 minutes during Friday's 1-0 loss to Iceland.

Impact Gordon got the start on the left wing and was one of the few competent starting options in the England attack. The winger was consistently dangerous even if he wasn't able to produce any sort of end product. Gordon will be hard pressed to start at the Euros, but he has done enough to likely compete for minutes.

Martin Dubravka - Up and down as replacement Dubravka conceded 42 goals, made 88 saves and kept four clean sheets in 23 appearances (22 starts) this past season.

Impact Dubravka found himself starting in early December after Nick Pope dislocated his shoulder versus Manchester United on Dec. 3. Dubravka proceeded to start 22 of the next 23 matches and had a rough start. He conceded three or more goals in eight of his first 14 starts and then finally settled in during the month of April despite losing his two starting center-backs. Despite a solid end to the season, he was unable to help lead his side back to European football next season. With one year left on his contract, the 35-year-old is expected to serve as a backup for Pope next season.

Emil Krafth - Finds starting spot in April Krafth kept two clean sheets and picked up two yellow cards in 17 appearances (eight starts) this past season.

Impact Krafth appeared just eight times across the first 29 matches, coming off the bench in all of them. However, he started eight of the last nine matches after starting center-backs Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman both tore their ACLs in the span of two weeks. Krafth had a solid end to the season, keeping two clean sheets while recording 16 tackles, 18 clearances, nine interceptions and three blocked shots. Although he could see playing time at the beginning of next season due to Lascelles and Botman's recovery, he is very unlikely to have a long-term place in Newcastle's starting XI.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dan Burn - Productive season with Newcastle Burn scored two goals, recorded two assists and kept seven clean sheets in 33 appearances (32 starts) this past season.

Impact Burn had arguably the best season of his career this past season, highlighted by four Premier League goal contributions, one Champions League goal versus PSG and one goal in the FA Cup. He also helped his side keep seven clean sheets as he contributed a career-high 25 blocked shots in addition to 61 tackles, 37 interceptions and 119 clearances. With his ability to play at left-back and in central defense, he should be an important part of the Magpies defense again next season.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Joelinton - Decent in injury riddled campaign Joelinton scored two goals and recorded one assist in 20 appearances (15 starts) this past season.

Impact Joelinton saw a dip in production during the 2023-24 campaign, but he missed nearly half the season with various injuries, most notably a thigh injury that required surgery which kept him out for nearly four full months. All of his goal contributions came against big clubs, with his three Premier League goal contributions coming against Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, and his lone Champions League goal coming versus AC Milan. He will look for a healthier campaign next season, but his consistent place in the starting XI could be in jeopardy with Sandro Tonali returning after serving his 10-month ban.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Elliot Anderson - Improves in second season Anderson recorded two assists and kept two clean sheets in 21 appearances (10 starts) this past season.

Impact Anderson saw significantly more playing time in the 2023-24 campaign compared to the previous season and made a solid impact. He started 10 matches, primarily in central midfield, and it would have been much more had he not missed 17 matches with a back injury. It is unclear where the 21-year-old fits in moving forward with Bruno Guimaraes and Sean Longstaff coming off great seasons, in addition to Sandro Tonali returning next season following a 10-month ban.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Sean Longstaff - Productive campaign in midfield Longstaff scored six goals and recorded two assists in 35 appearances (30 starts) this past season.

Impact Longstaff had the best season of his career, highlighted by his six Premier League goals which is more than he had scored in his previous five seasons. He also played an important role in his side keeping nine clean sheets as he contributed 54 tackles, 17 interceptions, 22 clearances and seven blocked shots. The 26-year-old has just one year left on his contract and could see less playing time next season with Sandro Tonali set to return after his 10-month ban.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Callum Wilson - Solid season as backup Wilson scored nine goals and recorded one assist in 20 appearances (nine starts) this past season.

Impact Wilson spent nearly half of the season injured and another major portion backing up Alexander Isak, but still found his way into scoring nine goals, seven of which came in his first nine appearances of the season. He has now scored at least eight goals in each of his last seven Premier League seasons. The 32-year-old has just one year remaining on his contract so he could see a move away from Newcastle given the club need to bring in transfer profit and Wilson may want a more consistent starting role.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Miguel Almiron - Quiet season with Magpies Almiron scored three goals and recorded one assist in 33 appearances (23 starts) this past season.

Impact Just a season after scoring 11 goals in the Premier League, Almiron came back down to earth with four goal contributions in 33 matches. He started 23 of the first 28 matches at right wing but lost his spot to Jacob Murphy after missing five matches with a knee injury. His place in the team moving forward is in question with the breakout of Murphy, in addition to any possible signings the club brings in during the summer.

JUNE 6 • ROTOWIRE

Fabian Schar - Goes 90 in friendly Schar played the full 90 during Tuesday's 4-0 friendly win over Estonia.

Impact Schar got the start in the Premier League finale and seems to be back to full fitness after going the full 90 before the Euros. The defender should be a key part of the Swiss defense if he can stay fit. Schar made 36 appearances (35 starts) for Newcastle, missing just two matches through injury.

Anthony Gordon - Hopeful for Friday friendly Gordon (ankle) is hopeful to be available for Friday's friendly with England, according to manager Gareth Southgate. "Gordon has a chance to be available for Friday. The other two...

Impact It's been two weeks for Gordon since suffering a kick to his foot in the May 15 contest and it's clear he's still not 100-percent fit. He still has a couple weeks until the first official Euro match, but he'll miss Monday's friendly and is a doubt Friday. No matter, he's a bench option for England, so this injury doesn't help any possible playing time in the tournament.

Mark Gillespie - Gets another year with Newcastle Gillespie had his contract activated and he'll remain with the club another season.

Impact Gillespie is only 32 years old, yet he's fine with being the Newcastle fourth-string goalkeeper with the odd chance of being third string due to injury, mostly because it's where he started playing in the team academy. After being a regular with Motherwell, he's yet to appear in net for Newcastle.
