There's fears Manchester United defender Harry Maguire and Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson will sit out the ENTIRE Euros with injury.
Liverpool midfielder Henderson has suffered a setback in his bid to recover from a groin injury and Southgate now concedes it would be a 'bonus' if he plays in the tournament.
United centre-back Maguire says he has only just returned to light training after injuring his ankle last month.
Southgate said: “With the two lads, Hendo and Harry, I've picked up a squad that can cope without them.
“If we had a squad of 23, that might have been a different decision to make.
“We've got 26. So, rather than take maybe a couple of young players for the experience, for me it's better to have two senior players who can add so much to the group."
