• Dario Maresic [Sturm Graz]
• Mathias Honsak [Holstein Kiel, on loan from RB Salzburg]
• Xaver Schlager [RB Salzburg]
Hoping Schlager will have a standout tournament. He has some good company with players such as Hannes Wolf, Kevin Danso and Stefan Posch.
• Sandro Tonali [Brescia]
• Gianluca Mancini [Atalanta]
• Federico Dimarco [Parma, on loan from Inter]
The strength of this squad is frightening, and of course I had to include an Atalanta player, even if he is being linked to Milan.
• Alexis Saelemaekers [Anderlecht]
• Yari Verscaeren [Anderlecht]
• Nordin Jackers [Genk]
It was hard for me to choose two Anderlecht players as a keen follower of Genk, although managed to sneak in Nordin.
• Joakim Maehle [Genk]
• Andreas Skov Olsen [FC Nordsjaelland]
• Robert Skov [Copenhagen]
To redeem myself from the Belgium selections, I've included another Genk player 😉 and how could I not include the other two?!
• Dennis Man [Steaua Bucuresti]
• Florinel Coman [Steaua Bucuresti]
• Denis Dragus [Viitorul]
Avoided Hagi and Puscas for obvious reasons. Not seen too much of these boys bar in European competitions, so some more exposure will be nice.
• Nikola Milenkovic [Fiorentina]
• Andrija Zivkovic [Benfica]
• Srdjan Babic [Red Star]
It wouldn't have been right not to select a player from Red Star. I have included a few players that are flying above the radar to see how they perform.
• Borna Sosa [Stuttgart]
• Lovro Majer [Dinamo]
• Nikola Moro [Dinamo]
A trio of current and ex-Dinamo Zagreb players incoming.. Oh, and to think Halilovic is still eligible! 🥺
• Dani Olmo [Dinamo]
• Junior Firpo [Real Betis]
• Mikel Oyarzabal [Real Sociedad]
Continued the Dinamo Zagreb trend including ex-La Masia man; Dani Olmo. Didn't include Pablo Fornals for reasons close to my heart ⚒️
• Kamil Grabara [Aarhus, on loan from Liverpool]
• Mateusz Wdowiak [Cracovia]
• Sebastian Szymański [Dynamo Moscow]
Kapustka, Kownacki and Bednarek, who will be Poland's standout in this tournament?
• Malang Sarr [Nice]
• Ibrahima Konaté [RB Leipzig]
• Jean-Philippe Mateta [Mainz]
From Upamecano and Aouar, to Bernardoni and Dembele. France's depth across all age groups = 🔥.
Still waiting to see M. Sarr deployed in CDM 🙏
• Felix Uduokhai [Wolfsburg]
• Maximiian Eggestein [Bremen]
• Nadiem Amiri [Hoffenheim]
I don't think Udoukhai will start, I do hope we get to see some of him on the pitch throughout the tournament. Not seen much of Nübel, looking forward to that opportunity.
• Ezri Konsa [Brentford]
• Fikayo Tomori [Chelsea]
• Morgan Gibbs-White [Wolves]
Probably the hardest nation for me to select from, so I've opted for some competition at CB. Missing you already Reece James.
