World-class XI of players who won't be at Euro 2024 include Man City and Real Madrid stars

A slew of big names will not be in Germany for the Euro 2024 tournament.

The final line-up for Euro 2024 was confirmed on Tuesday night ahead of the showpiece in Germany.

The hosts will be joined by 23 other teams, with Poland, Ukraine and Georgia all securing passage through the play-offs.

But while some of the biggest and best stars will travel for the tournament, there are still a number of huge names who will not be going to the Euros in June - whether it be through not qualifying or injuries.

SPORTbible has put together an XI featuring world-class talent who will not be involved in the Euros.

Thibaut Courtois is the easy choice in between the sticks after an injury nightmare.

He suffered a torn ACL at the start of the season and after nearing a return, the Belgium goalkeeper has now torn his meniscus and needs surgery.

At the back Liverpool's Northern Ireland defender Conor Bradley has emerged as an excellent talent, while Arsenal's Ben White is refusing to be called-up for England in a situation which has become messy.

Manchester United centre-back Victor Lindelof is one of three high-profile Swedish players to miss out, alongside Dejan Kulusevski and Victor Gyokeres of Spurs and Sporting CP respectively.

Austria have qualified but will be without captain David Alaba, the second Real Madrid player in the side to suffer an ACL tear.

In addition, Barcelona and Spain's 19-year-old midfielder Gavi is on the sidelines after undergoing knee surgery on torn ACL.

Sandro Tonali is ruled out of representing Italy due to his betting ban, which means he cannot play until the end of August 2024.

And finally, it feels wrong that both Martin Odegaard and Erling Haaland, two of the best players in the Premier League, will not be involved in the Euros.

Their Norwegian side finished third in Group A behind Spain and Scotland, who both qualified.
