The biggest stars who won’t be at the EURO in Germany
The EURO in Germany already has 24 participants, the other three will emerge from the barrage in March. It is already clear that several star players will miss the European Championship.
The EURO in Germany already has 24 participants, the other three will emerge from the barrage in March. It is already clear that several star players will miss the European Championship.
Erling Haaland
Things are going well at the club, Haaland is scoring one goal after another and last year he even won the treble. But unfortunately, if he wants national team success, he was born in the wrong country. Norway failed to qualify for the EURO this time too, finishing behind Spain and Scotland in the group and will not even make the barrage.
Haaland hasn’t made any final tournament yet and unless Norway gets another generation of excellent footballers, I don’t think much will change. However, it can concentrate all the more on club football.
Martin Ødegaard
His national teammate Martin Ødegaard has the same bad luck as Haaland. Even the Arsenal captain can’t do much with the weak Norwegian squad, so he’ll only be watching the EURO on TV again.
Dejan Kulusevski
Tottenham striker Dejan Kulusevski will also be missing in Germany. Sweden failed to make the qualifying group at all, finishing third with nine points behind Austria and ten points behind Belgium. The Swedish team can also be singled out, for example, Victor Lindelöf from Manchester United or Emil Forsberg from Leipzig.
Lewandowski/Zinchenko, Mudryk
The draw will determine which teams will face each other in the barrage. If it comes down to Poland and Ukraine in a single-leg clash, it is clear that one star will miss out on the EURO. Be it Poland’s Robert Lewandowski or Ukrainian Premier League duo Oleksandr Zinchenko/Mikhailo Mudryk.
Stefan Savic
Neither Atlético Madrid defender will play the EURO in Germany. Montenegro had a relatively playable group, with no giants in it. Even so, Hungary and Serbia were more successful and the Montenegrins missed out on qualification by three points.
