The UEFA European Football Championship is right around the corner, and with the final squads announced, we have a list of 7 Chelsea stars who have been selected for the big kick-off, which will begin on June 14th in Munich’s Allianz Arena.
EURO 2024 will be Germany’s first major tournament as host since the 2006 FIFA World Cup, with matches taking place in eleven host cities, including Berlin.
Each team was allowed to nominate up to 26 players. The 24 participating nations have sent their completed teams to UEFA Euro 2024.
With the final squad now announced, the seven Blues players who have made the cut are:
Armando Broja (Group B: Albania), Romelu Lukaku (Group E: Belgium), Conor Gallagher (Group C: England), Cole Palmer (Group C: England), Djordje Petrovic (Group C: Serbia), Marc Cucurella (Group B: Spain), and Mykhailo Mudryk (Group E: Ukraine).
Armando Broja [21 caps]: The Chelsea loanee, known for his aggressiveness and precision finishing, will be an important figure for Albania as they seek to make a mark in Group B. His performances at the club level have proved his ability to excel on a global scale.
Romelu Lukaku [115 caps]: one of Chelsea’s most controversial players, who is likely to be offloaded soon, will lead the way for Belgium. While Lukaku may not be suited for the Blues, his experience and scoring record will be critical to Belgium’s success in the tournament.
Marc Cucurella [4 caps]: His vital presence enhances Spain’s tactical versatility and depth.
Djordje Petrovic [3 caps]: Chelsea’s goalkeeper will represent Serbia. Petrovic’s quick reflexes and authoritative presence in the box have contributed to his success at Chelsea. His efforts will be critical to Serbia’s defensive strength as they seek to advance in the competition.
Cole Palmer [4 caps]: Palmer has been added to England’s first 33-man roster and is expected to be included in Gareth Southgate’s final selection following his impressive debut season at Chelsea.
Conor Gallagher [13 caps]: He has won his place in the England team. Gallagher, who has proved his excellence at Chelsea, broadens England’s midfield options. He has demonstrated his ability to be a game-changer for the national team, along with Palmer.
