John Stones and Luke Shaw will be included in England ’ s squad for Euro 2015 as Gareth Southgate gets close to formulating his 23-man party . The coach is ‘ certain ’ of 21 of the names and his list includes Everton central defender Stones , who was outstanding in the friendly wins over the Czech Republic and Germany , and Manchester United left back Shaw . Stones went to the World Cup last summer and was a regular in Roy Hodgson ’ s senior squad at the beginning of the campaign but , like Calum Chambers , he dropped back down with aplomb and will be a key figure in the Czech Republic . John Stones played in the impressive 3-2 win against Germany U21s and will head to the Czech Republic . Luke Shaw has n't played for the U21s since October but he will be headed for Euro 2015 . Shaw has not played for the Under 21s since the play-off victory over Croatia last October but he was included regularly in the early part of Southgate ’ s reign . Everton ’ s Ross Barkley is expected to have the summer off . The midfielder has never been in one of Southgate ’ s squads and last played for the Under 21s in August 2013 . England ’ s first Group B game is against Portugal in Uherske Hradiste on June 18 .
