Uefa to confirm 26-man squads for Euro 2024
Uefa is set to confirm nations will have 26-man squads for this summer’s European Championship in Germany.
A meeting of the European governing body’s national competitions committee voted in favour of the change, which is set to be ratified by the executive committee later this week.
Uefa had planned to revert back to 23-man squads after allowing the three-man expansion for Euro 2020 due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19.
But several international coaches were critical of 23-man squads and the suggestion to stick with 26 players arose at a recent Euro 2024 coaches meeting, where the idea gained widespread support.
Scotland boss Steve Clarke has been affected by injuries with Everton's Nathan Patterson and Bologna captain Lewis Ferguson set to miss the tournament and Southampton's Stuart Armstrong also a doubt.
