Curtis Jones and Jarell Quansah Cut at England Squad

The news that Curtis Jones was omitted from the final England 26-man squad that will head out to Germany for the Euros will come as a bitter disappointment to the young Liverpool midfielder.

Jones was up against stiff competition for a midfield spot with England boasting talents including phil Foden, Declan Rice, and Champions League winner Jude Bellingham. 

England's squad is packed with world-class talent, leading to bookmakers making them the early favourites for the tournament. 

Betting expert James Fuller extols the benefits of offshore betting that could increase the winnings of lucky England punters who bet on the 16/5 favourites.

Unfortunately, Jones being cut from the squad means he will be just another England fan cheering the team on, but the talented 23-year-old has plenty of time ahead of him. His bad news could also be shared by another Liverpool youngster, Jarell Quansah.

While some may see this as a snub to the two Liverpool stars, it looks like Southgate may have included them in the provisional squad in preparation for their future England careers. There is no doubt that the quality and professionalism of both players have earned them the right to be in contention for an England place, and they are likely to feature heavily in the future.

Both players are yet to get their first England cap, so throwing them straight into a tournament with such high expectations could have done more harm than good.

Jones has featured in 23 Premier League matches this year, as well as playing 6 times in Europe. His best form came in the EFL Cup where he scored 3 goals in his 5 games.

Quansah has made 33 appearances in total this season, featuring in the Premier League 17 times, and the Europa League 7 times, as well as 4 games in the FA Cup and 5 in the EFL Cup, including a substitute appearance in the final.

Other names that are set to be dropped from the provisional 33-man squad include James Maddison, Harry Maguire, Jack Grealish, James Trafford, and Jarrad Branthwaite according to reports. 

While this is obviously a disappointing time for Jones and Quansah, Liverpool fans might not be as upset knowing that they will be fully rested in time for next season. The two players look set to be key figures in Arne Slot's squad in what is likely to be a transitional time for the team.

Bookmakers currently put Manchester City as the clear favourite for next season's Premier League, with Arsenal narrowly behind. The best sports betting and crypto gambling sites have Liverpool as the third favourite at around 8/1. Many will be keen to see who comes or goes as Liverpool enters a new era, but Jones and Quansah should be around for the foreseeable future.
