In accordance with the competition regulations, teams must provide UEFA with a list containing a minimum of 23 players and a maximum of 26 by the deadline of 7 June.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The news be a welcomed boost for Gareth Southgate and England with the Three Lions boss facing a number of selection headaches ahead of this summer\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n<p>Southgate has previously been among the managers who have called for expanded squads.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is one more UEFA meeting where there\u2019s been a little bit of talk amongst some of the coaches about possibly increasing that [squad size],\u2019 Southgate said after recent international friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve got to make the best decisions with what we know and some of those currently are going to be medical decisions.

place during the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Fifa kept the 26-man squads in place for last winter\u2019s Qatar World Cup, given it took place in the middle of the traditional club season.<\/p>\n<p>Uefa had
