England's manager emphasizes physical conditioning and adaptability in players due to reduced squad size.

Gareth Southgate, England's manager, has warned his players that he will not take fitness gambles for the Euro 2024 squad selection.
Southgate's decision comes after UEFA reduced the permitted squad size from 26 to 23 players for the upcoming tournament.
Southgate emphasized the importance of players' physical conditioning and their ability to play multiple games.
Players who can adapt to more than one position are seen as beneficial due to the reduced squad size.
England, having already qualified for Euro 2024, currently leads Group C with 19 points from seven games.
