Who will England boss Roy Hodgson take to Euro 2016?

Roy Hodgson has until midnight on Tuesday 31 May to trim his 26-man squad to the 23 players he'll take to Euro 2016. But who will miss out?

Back-to-back 2-1 friendly wins over Turkey and Australia will have left the England manager with plenty to think about - especially after 18-year-old wildcard Marcus Rashford scored on his international debut on Friday night.

Jack Wilshere 

Jack Wilshere appears to have proved his fitness to Hodgson

After playing 66 minutes against Turkey and the first-half of England's win over Australia, it seems Jack Wilshere remains a key figure for Roy Hodgson. The inclusion of the Arsenal midfielder in the initial squad despite an injury-ravaged season in which he made just three first-team appearances highlighted Hodgson's faith in Wilshere and he now seems set for a ticket to Euro 2016.
"Both of them [Wilshere and Jordan Henderson] are a little bit short of match fitness but certainly for Jack Wilshere the last couple of games shows that his lack of match fitness isn't very evident. I thought he was very good in the first half he played [against Australia]," said Hodgson.

Former England caretaker boss Peter Taylor is also adamant Wilshere should go to France. Speaking after the win over Turkey, he told Sky Sports News HQ: "Wilshere is so different, such a clever player, he could play for Barcelona. He's such a talented player. You want that type of different midfield player for your options, whether you start him or bring him on as sub. I'd be wrapping him up in cotton wool."
Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford was congratulated by Hodgson on Friday

Marcus Rashford was 3/1 to make England's final 23 when the provisional squad was first named. Only Fabian Delph was more likely to be axed. But after a stunning introduction to international football - combined with injury concerns for Daniel Sturridge - the Manchester United teenager could be on his way to Euro 2016.

It took the 18-year-old just three minutes to find the net against Australia and Hodgson was full of praise for the youngster after the game. "What a debut. I'm pleased for him," said the England boss.
"But I wasn't surprised with the way he played. He was always one of the players who was seriously competing for a place in the 23 and he's done his chances of travelling with us no harm. He wouldn't be out of place in anyone's 23."
Ross Barkley

Ross Barkley was a second-half sub against Australia

Ross Barkley enjoyed his most productive season with Everton in the Premier League in 2015/16, scoring eight times and registering the same number of assists. However, a drop-off in form towards the end of the campaign appears to have damaged his chances of a key role for England this summer and he was overlooked for a starting spot in either friendly.

A raw talent, Barkley is likely to be an important figure for England in years to come and remains a likely traveller to France - if only as a squad member.
Andros Townsend

Andros Townsend hopes to have made an impression

Andros Townsend was out of the England reckoning in March but forced his way back into Hodgson's plans with an impressive run of form for Newcastle. However, after playing just 14 minutes across the two friendlies this month, his position in the camp is once again in doubt.

"Everyone's desperate to go to a major tournament," he said after his run-out against Australia. "What a huge honour it would be if I did, but I've done what I can and now we'll see what the manager decides."
Townsend is one of few genuine wingers in Hodgson's provisional squad and has enjoyed a number of fine performances in an England shirt under the manager. But he is likely to be one of the names debated by Hodgson and his coaching staff.
Danny Drinkwater

Danny Drinkwater played 90 minutes against Australia

He may have been an integral part of Leicester City's Premier League title win but Danny Drinkwater is among the three favourites to be cut from Hodgson's group of 26. The central midfielder was subbed on for the final 17 minutes against Turkey but played the full 90 against Australia.

With Eric Dier, Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson vying for a similar role in the team, he could be the unfortunate one to miss out. Dier seems set for a starting spot, while Wilshere has been praised by Hodgson, who also dismissed concerns over Henderson's fitness problems.
Daniel Sturridge

Daniel Sturridge has missed both friendlies with injury

Daniel Sturridge was England's first-choice striker at the World Cup but injuries have limited the Liverpool man's playing time over the past two seasons and, despite returning for the Reds' run-in, a calf problem kept him out of both international friendlies this month.

The forward is due to return to training on Sunday and Hodgson has told the press his injury problem isn't likely to affect his ability to play in England's Euro 2016 opener against Russia on June 10. However, the manager also stopped short of backing Sturridge for a place in the squad. It seems the 26-year-old's tournament chances remain up for discussion.
Fabian Delph

Fabian Delph is all but out of contention for a place in the final squad

Manchester City's Fabian Delph was a surprise inclusion in Hodgson's provisional squad of 26, given his injury problems and struggles to break into Manuel Pellegrini's plans this season. Now, a groin injury has effectively ruled him out of contention for a place on the plane.

The midfielder was unable to travel to Sunderland for Friday's friendly with Australia and Hodgson said: "That means probably he won't be with us either in the final 23, unless, of course, we have injuries. I've put him on a standby list and he understands and accepts that."
