Hodgson names Rashford in England Euro squad

England manager Roy Hodgson has announced the England squad that he will be bringing to France in a couple of weeks’ time. 

 

The big surprise of the squad was the inclusion of young Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. Rashford only made his first senior Manchester United appearance in February this year and for some fans his inclusion is a risk.

Both Newcastle United's Andros Townsend and Leicister City's Danny Drinkwater miss out on the squad. 

 

The squad in full is:

Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Tom Heaton (Burnley).
