Florent Malouda could see big name miss out on England's Euros squadDAZN
Gareth Southgate has tough choices ahead of the Euros.

Florent Malouda believes Marcus Rashford could miss out on a place in Gareth Southgate's England squad due to Cole Palmer's emergence. 

The Manchester United forward has had a disappointing season, scoring just eight goals in all competitions, and now faces a fight on his hands for his England place. 

Speaking to Gambling Zone, Malouda thinks Cole Palmer, who's starred for Chelsea this season, has to go to Germany and could be at the expense of Rashford. 

"Cole Palmer has to be in the England squad for the tournament," Malouda said.

"I've watched him a lot this season and I have seen a player that is full of confidence, who wants to take responsibility on the pitch and who improves his teammates.

"He can play on both the left and right – at Chelsea, we've seen him move around the pitch with a lot of freedom to combine with his teammates. Marcus Rashford's position in the squad is in danger. I think Gareth Southgate will have to make a big decision about it. 

"I don't think it's a question of quality with Rashford, we can see his talent, but he hasn't been consistent this season for Manchester United and you need players going into tournaments in top form because they have to produce every three days.

"Off the ball, Rashford doesn't work hard enough. We've all seen the clips of him not tracking back and covering his man for Manchester United this season. I really like Jack Grealish. I think he could be a great option on the left for England."
