The fans of the Euro league will be excited with Euro 2020 to take place this summer. However, it’s been noted that some of the key players for Euro 2020 will not show up for this season, while few world’s best players will come up with their talent.
Sergio Ramos, Erling Haaland and Virgil van Dijk are few among the missing from the tournament. Gareth Southgate revealed his provisional 33-man England squad on Tuesday, while leaving behind some huge names.
Here’s the list of 11 players missing this season:
SERGIO RAMOS
There are no Real Madrid players in the Spain squad for the first time in history. Ramos has captained both teams and has been left out of his country’s squad for the Euros. He missed several games for Los Blancos through injury recently and that’s the reason to leave him behind.
ERLING HAALAND
Haaland is one of the most exciting young stars in the world. This Norwegian became the first player since Brazilian Ronaldo to score 40 goals in a season in Europe’s top five leagues before the age of 21 last week.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK
The Liverpool star has been out injured for most of the season after Jordan Pickford crocked him in the Merseyside derby in October. This Holland’s captain will miss out due to his knee ligament injury that has not cleared up yet.
AARON WAN-BISSAKA
Aaron Wan-Bissaka who starred for Manchester United is one of the most defensively sound full-backs in the Premier League. But his lack of impact going forward has seen him left out of England’s squad.
JAN OBLAK
The goal-keeper for Atletico Madrid- Jan Oblak will watch on from home as his country Slovenia failed to qualify. Unfortunately, they haven’t reached a major tournament since the 2010 World Cup.
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
The 39 year old will miss out on Sweden’s Euros campaign with a knee injury. He has scored 62 goals in 118 Sweden games and was welcomed back into the fold earlier this season after a five-year break.
FERLAND MENDY
He was struck down with tibial periostitis (severe shin splints) earlier this month and has not been included in France’s squad as a result. He is another Real Madrid star who is unlikely to feature at the Euros.
JEROME BOATENG
Boateng broke down in tears during his last game for Bayern. He played centre-back for 39 games in all competitions for the Bavarian giants this season.
MIRALEM PJANIC
The Bosnian has struggled for form since moving to Barcelona from Juventus last summer. But none of that mattered as his country was beaten by Northern Ireland in the qualifiers.
ISCO
He has 38 Spain caps but only managed 29 games for Los Blancos this season with his relationship with Zinedine Zidane a bit strained.
SERGEJ MILINKOVIC-SAVIC
This Lazio star will not be able to showcase his talents to potential suitors this summer. With a result of Serbia losing to Scotland in a dramatic penalty shoot out in the play-offs. He has 22 caps and is being linked with a move to Manchester United and Chelsea after Lazio failed to qualify for the Champions League.
