The squads for the 2024 European Championships have been confirmed, with four Fulham players involved.
🇧🇪 Timothy Castagne (43 caps, 2 goals)
Now firmly established as Belgium’s first choice right-back, Castagne started every one of their eight qualifiers, a campaign which they went through unbeaten with six wins and two draws.
The Red Devils are in the favourable Group E at the Euros, with matches against Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine.
Castagne will wear the 21 shirt for Belgium, the same number he sports for Fulham.
🇷🇸 Saša Lukić (46 caps, 2 goals)
An important member of the Serbia squad, Lukić will hope to surpass the 50 cap mark this summer by helping his side qualify for the knockout stages.
There is a lot of quality in the Serbia group, who will present a stern test for England in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday night.
Fixtures against Slovenia and Denmark then follow for Lukić and co, who are appearing at their first European Championships as Serbia, having last featured in 2000 while still part of Yugoslavia.
Lukić has been handed the number 22 shirt.
🇵🇹 João Palhinha (27 caps, 2 goals)
Portugal had the best qualifying campaign of any side at the Euros, winning all 10 of their matches, while scoring 36 and conceding just two in the process.
Remarkably, Palhinha only made his international debut three years ago, but is now a mainstay in the side, starting six of their qualifiers.
The Portuguese go into the Euros as one of the favourites, but they will first have to navigate an interesting group that features Turkey, Czechia, and tournament debutants Georgia.
Palhinha will wear number 6 for Portugal.
🇸🇰 Marek Rodák (22 caps)
Rodák will be departing Fulham at the end of June, but before then he has his second major tournament with Slovakia to look forward to.
He was on the bench for all three of their Euro 2020 fixtures, but has won 16 more caps since then. Newcastle United’s Martin Dúbravka does look set to start between the sticks in Germany, though.
If selected, Rodák will come up against a club teammate from last season in Castagne in Slovakia’s group opener, before matches against Ukraine and Romania.
The number 12 will be on the back of Rodák’s jersey this summer.
