Euro 2024: Haaland, Rashford, 20 other big stars to miss out

By Francesca Hangeior.
As the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament approaches, anticipation is building for the footballing showpiece set to take place in Germany from June 14 to July 14, 2024.
However, while the competition promises to showcase Europe’s best talent, several high-profile players will be notable absentees due to many factors ranging from being dropped by their coaches to their nations failing to qualify.
Leading the list of star players who will miss out on Euro 2024 is Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland, one of the most prolific strikers in world football. Haaland’s absence, alongside compatriot Martin Odegaard, will undoubtedly disappoint fans eagerly awaiting their potential impact on the grand stage.
England, despite their rich talent pool, will be without the services of Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish, Reece James, Harry Maguire, James Maddison, Jadon Sancho and Ben White, as head coach Gareth Southgate named his final team omitting them.
Germany, the host nation, will also be missing some key figures, with Mats Hummels and Serge Gnabry absent.
Other notable absentees include Belgium’s Thibaut Courtois, France’s Lucas Hernandez and Christopher Nkunku, Spain’s Pablo Gavi, Austria’s David Alaba, Italy’s Sandro Tonali, Portugal’s Raphael Guerreiro, and Sweden’s Alexander Isak.
Despite the absence of these stars, the Euro 2024 tournament is set to be a thrilling spectacle.
As the host nation, Germany will be eager to impress on home soil, having secured the right to host the prestigious event in 2018, beating out a rival bid from Turkey in a decision seen as favouring a “safer” option.
The tournament is set to kick off in Munich on June 14 and culminate with the final in Berlin on July 14.

1. Erling Haaland (Norway)
2. Marcus Rashford (England)

EPL Results: Chelsea Boost UCL Hopes, Arsenal Win Big, Man United Lost

The English Premier League matchday 33 delivered high drama and significant movements in the table as Chelsea pulled off a last-gasp comeback, Wolves completed a historic double over Manchester United, and Arsenal cruised to a dominant away victory.
Over at Craven Cottage, Fulham suffered a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Chelsea. Enzo Maresca’s side clawed back from a goal down to snatch all three points dramatically.
Chelsea claimed a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon to strengthen their push for UEFA Champions League qualification. Goals from Tyrique George and Pedro Neto in the final 15 minutes turned the tide after Alex Iwobi’s first-half strike had given the hosts the lead.
Chelsea struggled to create clear chances despite dominating possession for large stretches. The Blues lacked composure in the final third, with Pedro Neto seeing a powerful effort blocked by Bernd Leno and Cole Palmer dragging a promising opportunity wide after a clever run into the area.
Alex Iwobi had put Fulham ahead in the 20th minute, but Chelsea responded late. Tyrique George equalized in the 83rd minute before Pedro Neto fired home a stoppage-time winner (90’+3). The victory lifts Chelsea back to fifth, now just two points behind third-placed Newcastle.
At Portman Road, Ipswich Town suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat at the hands of Arsenal. The Gunners dismantled the Premier League newcomers with a clinical performance.
Leandro Trossard netted twice (14’, 69’), while Gabriel Martinelli (28’) and teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri (88’) also got on the scoresheet. The win keeps Arsenal firmly in the title race and adds to Ipswich’s struggles near the bottom of the table.
At Old Trafford, Manchester United suffered a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Wolves in the Premier League matchday 33. Pablo Sarabia stunned the home crowd with a sublime free-kick in the 77th minute, sealing a second win of the season over United for Wolves.
Note that this is the first time the Midlands club has done the league double over United since the 1979-1980 season. The win puts Wolves level on points with the Red Devils, tightening the race for European spots.
