Live: England vs Serbia Euro 2024

England’s snubbed Euro 2024 superstars have been pictured partying in bars, jetsetting to Dubai and living the high life in Monaco after missing out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad.

The 26-man team, who are carrying the weight of an expectant nation on their shoulders, are making their final preparations before their opening match of the tournament against Serbia on Sunday.

The Three Lions will be based at the Weimarer Land Spa and Golf Resort on the outskirts of Blankenhain, a town nestled in a forest with a population of fewer than 7,000 people.

But a raft of huge household names have been left off the side after failing to make the cut – and now face watching their teammates’ tournament run in Germany on the TV like millions of fans back home.

Among the high-profile players relegated to the sidelines include a heartbroken Jack Grealish, who was seen taking his mind off of things during a lavish trip to Dubai, and Marcus Rashford, who after failing to make the training squad following a poor season was spotted partying in a trendy bar in Cannes, southern France this week.

Others like Chelsea star Ben Chilwell and his pal, Manchester United’s Mason Mount were seen enjoying the Monaco Grand Prix after being given the boot by Southgate, with the duo lapping up the most glamorous race on the F1 calendar.

Now, MailOnline is looking at how some of the big-named stars have been spending their summer break after failing to make the Euros side.

Rashford was left devastated after becoming one of the first casualties in Southgate’s Euros culling.

The Manchester United forward, 26, has struggled for form this season, scoring seven goals and managing two assists in 33 league appearances.

He failed to make it into Southgate’s 33-man training squad, which was later slimmed down to the final 26 destined for Germany.

And while his teammates were taking part in their final few training sessions ahead of the tournament, Rashford appeared to be partying his sorrows away, dancing at an exclusive beach bar in Cannes.

Onlookers said the 26-year-old dined out at the Baoli restaurant with up to 12 friends where they claim he spent around £3,700 on drinks and food on Saturday.

Diners said the £325,000-a-week star seemingly wasn’t bothered by Gareth Southgate’s snub as he was seen laughing and dancing for three hours before he left and headed to the club at the same venue at 1am.

A fellow diner said he recognised Rashford’s luxury Richard Mille watch.

The Manchester United winger did not even make the provisional 33-man squad for Euro 2024 in Germany when it was announced in May

He said: ‘When I was him I was like ‘holy s**t that is Marcus Rashford’.

‘As soon as I saw him put his hand up and I saw the watch and chain I knew it was him.

‘Not making the England squad seemed not to bother him.

‘Throughout the night he was moving around the restaurant, with the assistance of management and a bodyguard I think.’

Rashford has endured a trying campaign in 2023-24 for Erik ten Hag’s side, with only seven goals and two assists in the Premier League, after a hugely impressive 2022-23.

After being snubbed by Southgate, he has taken a break from social media, tweeting on May 27 he needed to ‘rest and reset’ following a ‘challenging season’.

Staying true to his word, he has yet to post anything since then to his combined 24million followers over X and Instagram.

Rashford may also take the break to spend some more time on his love life.

The Manchester United star is thought to have been single since splitting with his teenage sweetheart Lucia Loi in the summer of 2023.

The then-couple, both 26, first started dating at the age of 15 while studying at Ashton on Mersey school in Greater Manchester, and Rashford proposed to Loi in May 2022 during a post-season get-away in California.

But the relationship is believed to have ‘run its course’ when the pair decided to separate a year later in June, with sources at the time claiming the couple remained ‘very close friends’.

Last month Rashford was spotted cosying up with Colombian-born model Erica Correa on a night out in Manchester on Sunday evening.

Rashford was described by a source as appearing to be ‘having a ball’ with Correa on Sunday

It came just weeks before he was dropped by Southgate from England’s Euros squad and sparked speculation Rashford had now found a new partner.

Neither have spoken publicly about their night out. But Rashford is said to have grown close with Correa – who moved to Liverpool as a five-year-old before being spotted on the streets of the city aged 13 and going on to have a glamorous modelling career.

A source told the Sun: ‘Whatever his form on the pitch, off of it Marcus is delivering the goods.

‘He looked like the cat that got the cream on Erica’s arm. They were having a ball.

‘Marcus and Erica were tactile and clearly enjoying each other’s company.’

Jordan Henderson

Henderson was pictured on holiday in Portugal earlier this week with his wife Rebecca at a resort in the Algarve.

The pair looked in a relaxed mood in their gym gear before driving off in a golf buggy.

Henderson has remained silent on social media for almost a month now, with his last post coming just the day before he and Rashford were announced as the first casualties to be cut from Southgate’s Euros team.

A day earlier the former Liverpool captain had paid tribute to his former club boss, Jürgen Klopp, who left after almost nine years at Anfield.

‘Thank you for everything Boss. @kloppo,’ Henderson wrote.

His dumping from the Euros team was the last chapter in a bitter year of disappointments for the England midfielder.

The 33-year-old joined Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia from Liverpool last summer but left them to join a struggling Ajax side in January.

Southgate continued to pick him after his move to the Saudi Pro League, though he was booed by some England fans on his first game back in the country, against Australia at Wembley in October.

Henderson will not be taking part in Euro 2024 after losing his place in the England squad

Henderson was in the squad for March friendlies against Brazil and Belgium but did not play.

And he now faces a summer of uncertainty after a disastrous Ajax campaign which could threaten to see the star move again after just six months.

The midfielder’s switch to the Dutch giant hasn’t exactly gone to plan, despite his shirt becoming the club’s fastest selling jersey of all time.

The club have suffered a nightmare season, with Henderson only making seven appearances as he’s struggled for form and fitness since the move back to the Europe.

Ajax were knocked out of Europe by Aston Villa and suffered a humiliating 6-0 league defeat to Feyenoord before the season culminated in missing out on Champions League football.

It’s the second season in a row Ajax has missed out on a place at Europe’s top table of football.

The Champions League’s new format next season, will see an extra £372million in prize money for the 36 teams involved for 2024/25, which Ajax now stand to miss out on.

According to The Athletic, the financial hit means the future of big earners like Henderson face an uncertain future, given the financial problems at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Last month MailSport reported there was no desire for the former European champions to sell the likes of Henderson – but as one of the club’s biggest earners, they could be forced to cash-in on their assets.

Despite the gloom of the season, and missing out on a place in England’s Euros squad – Henderson will have one thing to look forward: celebrating his 34th birthday.

It’s not known how the football ace will mark the occasion, which comes the day after England’s first game against Serbia on Sunday evening.

But he could choose to spend it with his wife, Rebecca and their three children, Alexa, Alba and Miles.

Ben Chilwell

Chilwell appeared in high spirits despite his Euro 2024 England snub.

The Chelsea full-back spent time living it up at the Monaco Grand Prix alongside fellow England teammate, Mason Mount – who also failed to make the squad travelling to Germany.

The pair have remained close friends since Mount departed Stamford Bridge in a £60m transfer to Old Trafford last summer and looked to be enjoying themselves in the baking Monaco sunshine.

Chilwell shared snaps of him partying in Monaco and enjoying a cruise on a yacht.

The England ace even took the time to chat to Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle from inside the grid.

Beaming, Chilwell said: ‘It’s good. It’s very hot and very busy and very tight,’ before going on to say he would be cheering on the Red Bull team who were ‘looking after me’.

Harry Maguire

Injured Maguire was seen enjoying a luxury five-star hotel holiday in Turkey after missing out on a place in the Euros squad.

The Manchester United centre-back, capped 63 times by his country, was knocking back drinks by the poolside at the Maxx Royal Belek resort.

The resort where Maguire has been staying along with his family is a five-star golf and spa hotel, located on the coast of Belek.

A room can set you back £554 a night for a suite or £865 for a two-bedroom family room – while the most deluxe accommodation there costs up to £6,400 per night.

A fellow holiday-goer, who spotted Maguire, said: ‘He is in very good spirits.

‘He is looking very relaxed. He must have booked the holiday very last minute – they only announced the squad a few days ago.’

Maguire, 31, has previously been a mainstay of Southgate’s side – scoring at both the 2018 World Cup and the previous European Championship in 2021.

Maguire told of his heartache in a message to his 5.3million fans on Instagram last week.

‘I am devastated not to have been selected to play for England at the Euros this summer,’ he wrote.

‘Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to overcome an injury to my calf. Maybe I pushed myself too hard, to try and make it. Simply, I am absolutely gutted.’

Although heartbroken, Maguire appeared to rally around his fellow teammates, insisting he would now support the lads ‘as a fan – along with the rest of the country’. ‘Go and win it boys,’ he added.

‘For me, representing England is the highest honour. It means everything to me. If I can’t help the team as a player, I will support them as a fan – along with the rest of the country. Go and win it boys.’

He said he would be returning to the supervision of Man U’s medical team to try and prepare him for next season and recover.

And although he will be looking to focus on his fitness, Maguire might take time out to enjoy a key marriage milestone with his wife, Fern Hawkins.

The couple’s second wedding anniversary is on June 25 – the day of England’s third and final group match against Slovenia.

It could be a juggling act for Maguire to celebrate the union and support his teammates, who kick off at 8pm.

The pair could spend the day with their two children, Lillie Saint, four, and Piper Rose, three, at the £4million Cheshire mansion – or they might even take a last-minute trip overseas to celebrate the anniversary.

Harry, who comes from a close-knit family, is likely to take the time over the summer break to see his loved ones.

His parents Zoe and Alan Maguire are among his biggest fans, along with his siblings, Joe, Laurence and Daisy who have previously been snapped watching the Man U talisman’s matches.

Mason Mount

Manchester United ace Mount appeared to take news of his failure to make Southgate’s squad in good spirits.

The 25-year-old, who is reportedly on a £250,000-a-week salary at United, was still flying high after his club side’s FA Cup victory against local rivals, Manchester City.

Mount failed to make England’s 33-man training squad last month, having endured a difficult first season at United – where he was given the club’s legendary No.7 shirt upon joining – battling with numerous injuries and making only 20 appearances across all competitions, scoring just one goal in the process.

However, he was fit to play a part in the FA Cup final showdown at Wembley and came off the bench in the third minute of stoppage time as manager Erik ten Hag sought to run the clock down.

Now on his summer break, the sports star joined some of his Man U teammates on a last-dash trips over to Monaco for the Formula One Grand Prix after celebrating their FA Cup title win deep into the early hours.

Mount lapped up the lavish event at the Monte Carlo circuit on May 26 with his fellow England teammate, Ben Chilwell – who also failed to make the Euro 2024 squad.

And his high spirits have continued, with a beaming Mount posing for pictures on social media during a round of golf as a five-star resort in Ireland.

Mount was seen enjoying the course at the exclusive Adare Manor in Limerick – which will be hosting the 2027 Ryder Cup competition – and where a one-night bed and breakfast stay in its ‘Signature one-bedroom suit’ could cost almost £6,600.

Jack Grealish

Jack Grealish was spotted letting his hair down with friends in Dubai after sensationally missing out on a spot in the England squad.

The Manchester City legend was pictured being ushered through a luxury hotel in the Middle Eastern paradise towards a beach bar.

Wearing yellow shorts and a top, video footage of the England ace appear to show him looking a little unsteady on his feet at one point.

A friend from Grealish’s entourage held onto his arm, before a pal was later seen placing an arm around the player’s waist and leading him along.

Onlookers at the five-star Jumeirah Beach Hotel were reportedly told by security not to take photos as Grealish and his pals exited the luxury building before jumping into a buggy which whisked them towards the resort’s beach bar.

There was no sign of the multi-millionaire’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood in his tight-knit group.

One onlooker told The Sun: ‘It looked like the rejection by Gareth Southgate had hit hard.’

They added: ‘He’s clearly taking time to work through his Euros rejection…At least he had his friends around him.’

England boss Gareth Southgate

Gareth Southgate smiles ahead of the Three Lions’ opening match.

Bukayo Saka is expected to win his fitness battle and start for England in their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia on Sunday, according to reports.

Gareth Southgate’s side face Serbia in their Group C opening clash with Saka one of the biggest doubts ahead of the match in Gelsenkirchen.

England can realistically expect to challenge for their first major trophy since winning the World Cup in 1996 with the Three Lions first having to navigate their way out of a tricky group which also contains Denmark and Slovenia.

Saka was restricted to just a 25 minute cameo against Iceland in a pre-tournament friendly but The Sun are now claiming that the Arsenal winger ‘set to start after winning fitness battle’.

There had been some doubts after Saka missed the Gunners’ final match of the Premier League season with a groin injury – but the newspaper claims he ‘is in line to play from the off in Gelsenkirchen’.

Elsewhere, Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to partner Rice at the base of midfield, while Marc Guehi will partner John Stones in central defence after Harry Maguire missed out on the squad through injury.

The Sun have noted down the expected starting line-up as they ‘revealed’ Southgate’s XI for Serbia:

Jordan Pickford; Kyle Walker, John Stones, Marc Guehi, Kieran Trippier; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham; Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Harry Kane.

Speaking ahead of the match against Serbia, Southgate reckons the “innocence” of some of his squad could work in their favour in Germany.

Southgate told a pre-match press conference: “We have got a balance of players who have been some really big nights together and others who have a rawness, an energy and an excitement about them of being in their first tournament.

“Both things I think are adding to the group. In Russia we were one of the youngest teams, one of the least experienced teams, so I don’t think it is essential that you have experience throughout.

“And equally we have enough players who have played on the big nights, either with us or their clubs, and they are able to deliver in those moments. That of course at times can be helpful.

“Innocence is a bonus, there are lots of players. When I went into Euro ’96 despite the end I had a good tournament, and I only went in with three or four caps. So, I think there is opportunity for people to make a name for themselves.

“This is a moment in time for them and we have picked some players who are in good form and showing that on the training pitch and they can add to what we are doing.”
