How many penalty takers are enough for one international tournament squad? The Independent's research shows it's increasingly unlikely for a nation to win the World Cup or European Championship without triumphing in at least one shoot-out, so how much of a factor will that be for Gareth Southgate in deciding his 23-man group for Euro 2024? Everyone has their favourites, their must-go players and those they feel shouldn't even have a sniff of a plane ticket at this time; here Lawrence Ostlere discusses the rationale [for Ivan Toney and Cole Palmer in particular as England options from the spot](~/AAAHagA~/RgRn6TM2P0T0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5kZXBlbmRlbnQuY28udWsvc3BvcnQvZm9vdGJhbGwvaXZhbi10b25leS1jb2xlLXBhbG1lci1wZW5hbHRpZXMtZW5nbGFuZC1zcXVhZC1ldXJvLTIwMjQtYjI1MTk2MDYuaHRtbD9saWQ9anhwMGJpemtpbHRiJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09ZW1haWwmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1icmF6ZSZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249UmVhZGluZyB0aGUgR2FtZSBOZXdzbGV0dGVyIDI5LTAzLTIwMjQmdXRtX3Rlcm09SU5EX0Zvb3RiYWxsX0NEUFcFc3BjZXVCCmYFNq4GZqRtB6VSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAADIw~~).   Sign up to our new Independent Betting newsletter The new Independent Betting newsletter is packed with the latest tips, odds and sign-up offers to help you place sports bets armed with as much information as possible and at the best prices our partners can find.

A combination of injuries and end-of-season club games mean that when Southgate names a training squad on 21 May, it is likely to feature several players who he will not take to Germany but who he requires as cover for all eventualities.
