Adam Wharton will not be part of the England Under-21s squad for the European Championship as he continues to recover from the concussion suffered in Crystal Palace’s FA Cup final win.
The 21-year-old was named in Carsley’s preliminary training squad for the tournament in Slovakia but will now instead focus on rest and recovery ahead of returning for preseason with Palace. They face Liverpool in the Community Shield, the English season’s traditional curtain-raiser, on August 9.

The midfielder, alongside Palace captain Marc Guehi, was taken to hospital as a precaution after they both suffered head injuries during the 1-0 victory over Manchester City on May 17. Both players went on to miss Palace’s final two league game of the season.
Tuchel was in attendance at Wembley Stadium before opting to leave the midfielder out of his senior squad for the upcoming fixtures with Andorra and Senegal with the hope of him instead being a leading figure for Lee Carsley’s side.
“We made Adam train with us in the last camp and he was with the Under-21s and he trained with us and was very, very good. At the moment there’s a little injury problem, a concussion protocol going on from the FA Cup final,” Tuchel said on May 23.
“Together with Tino Livramento, Jarell Quansah, Elliott Anderson and Liam Delap — all names that could play a role for us — a major tournament is coming up with the Under-21s, and the intention is that they play a major role in this tournament.”
Wharton suffered a suspected concussion when Kevin De Bruyne’s 20-yard shot struck him on the back of the head with 18 minutes remaining, but continued to play until being substituted in the 87th minute.
Palace manager Oliver Glasner said that all concussion protocols were followed for Wharton, and that Guehi was also cleared to continue before both players missed the post-match celebrations.
“There’s the protocol, they all go through it. I don’t know it in detail but he (Wharton) passed everything otherwise the doctor (would have taken him off) like Maxence (Lacroix) against Brighton. He’s always the first to say take him off,” he said.
“Sometimes I’m fighting, saying ‘come on come on we need him’. In this situation everything seemed to be fine but a few minutes later didn’t feel well on the pitch and that’s why we took them off.”

Glasner revealed last Friday that Wharton can’t remember the final and was still following the concussion protocol.
“Everyone at Palace but everyone in England wants to get the best Adam Wharton he can be,” he said. “And obviously, we couldn’t see him, all over the season on a very consistent basis because his body, didn’t fulfil its part. And so that’s why we have to be very careful.”
England are currently finalising their preparations for the defence of the title won in Georgia and Romania two years ago.
Carsley will name his final 23-player squad on June 6 before they begin against Czechia on June 12. They will then face Slovenia on June 15 before meeting Germany on June 18 to round out Group B.

Jalen Hurts still fighting for respect after disappointing QB ranking
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts recently found himself again underappreciated when Pro Football Focus released its preseason rankings, slotting him at No. 5 among NFL quarterbacks. While this marks an improvement-especially after he languished as low as 23rd last season-it still falls short of what many consider his rightful place: among the elite. Even with a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP-level year behind him, narrative seems to stubbornly resist acknowledging his full value.Hurts' résumé speaks volumes: in 2024 he had a a 103.7 passer rating, 18 touchdown passes to just five interceptions, and more than 630 rushing yards accompanied by 14 scores on the ground. Notably, he's one of only two quarterbacks since 2020 to log double-digit rushing touchdowns every season-a rare blend of dual-threat playmaking. Yet PFF's analytical model, which highly prioritizes passing efficiency, still pegs him behind names like […]
Taylor Swift opens up about Travis Kelce during Florida hospital visit

It wasn't just an act of celebrity benevolence; it was a deeply personal mission. "This has been such an amazing day," she said in a moment captured on TikTok as she introduced herself to a transfusion patient. Dr. Jill Whitehouse, chief of surgery at the hospital, […]

Groves: Fury and Joshua can only fight each other
If Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury are to fight on, they should box each other, says former world champion George Groves.Joshua has not boxed since September of last year when his bid to become a three-time heavyweight world titlist ended in a crushing fifth-round knockout loss to IBF belt-holder Daniel Dubois. Last year Fury lost two points decisions to unbeaten and still unified champion Oleksandr Usyk and announced his retirement in January.He has though regularly released footage of himself training, which has fuelled speculation about a potential comeback.Dillian Whyte, cleared to return to boxing after a failed drug test, has opted to box Moses Itauma on August 16, rather than pursue a once mooted rematch with AJ. That leaves Joshua without a clear option for his next fight. Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Boxing promoter […]
