Apart from Rashford, Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson also failed to make the cut in the preliminary squad announced by coach Gareth Southgate.

Former Liverpool skipper Henderson's controversial move to Saudi Arabia before shifting to Ajax has not helped him and he has also been left out.
Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire have been named in the squad despite injury concerns.
Harry Kane who missed the end Bayern Munich's season due to back issues has also been included.
Phil Foden, the Player of the tournament of the Premier League also features in the squad.
This 33-men strong squad has to be trimmed down to 26 by June 7 midnight which is the deadline for submission of final squads for the tournament.
