London [UK], May 16 (ANI): England's football team manager Gareth Southgate on Thursday announced a 27-man initial squad for the UEFA Nations League finals.
Captain Harry Kane has been included in the initial squad as the striker is expected to be fit for the Champions League finals and international duty.

"The Three Lions have a number of players still involved with their clubs, with the Emirates FA Cup, Champions League, and Europa League Finals all scheduled to take place over the next few weeks," the Football Association of England said in an official statement.

Players from Manchester City will be involved in the FA Cup final against Watford on May 18 so that they would join England's training camp in the week commencing from May 27.
