Euro 2024 is peering over the horizon and the deadline has now passed for the competing nations to submit their final squads.
As such, we now know definitively which stars will be gracing Germany this summer and who won’t be.
Here are 25 of the best players who won’t feature at Euro 2024, whether that’s due to injury, lack of selection or their country not qualifying. And to make it spicier, the order is completely randomised.
Usually a Portugal stalwart, Raphael Guerreiro’s injury-hit first season at Bayern Munich has seen him overlooked for the Selecao’s squad for Euro 2024.
Jack Grealish is a beloved part of the England setup and news of his axing was not well-received by his teammates, but ultimately his poor form for Manchester City cost him a spot at Euro 2024.
It’s rotten luck tearing your ACL only 50 minutes into the new season, but at least Jurrien Timber is on the mend again. The Netherlands could miss his useful versatility over in Germany.
It’s a minor miracle that Lucas Hernandez has even featured at three international tournaments with France given his woeful injury record over the years.
It was bad enough for Courtois that he had to endure ACL and meniscus tears back-to-back. Poor Gavi suffered them at the same time while on Spain duty last November and isn’t due back until January 2025.
Another player disrupted by injury, Serge Gnabry has been in and out of both the Bayern Munich and Germany teams for years now.
Considering Jadon Sancho hasn’t been in an England squad since 2021, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that even his late-season exploits for Dortmund weren’t enough for him to break back into Southgate’s thinking.
England could really do with Ben White’s competence and versatility. It’s a great shame he and the coaching staff are at odds.
