With the Euro 2024 qualifiers now in the latter stages, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of the Arsenal players likely to feature in the tournament.
Following the most recent international break, all of the UEFA Euro 2024 qualification groups have now passed the midway point, with just a few games to go for most teams.
As a result, we have a much better idea of which countries will be involved in the tournament, and by extension, which Arsenal players will be linking up with their countries for the summer.
Hosts
Germany are the hosts of Euro 2024, and have therefore qualified automatically. Kai Havertz is likely to be involved in their squad.
Group A
Scotland and Spain currently sit in the qualification spots, which would put Kieran Tierney and David Raya in line for the tournament.
Norway face an uphill battle to qualify at this stage, so Martin Odegaard is unlikely to be involved as it stands.
Group B
France and the Netherlands currently sit in the qualification spots, though the Netherlands’ lead over Greece is very marginal.
William Saliba would probably go to the tournament with France, and Jurrien Timber is an outside bet for the Netherlands if he’s recovered from injury.
Group C
As it stands, England are a sure thing for qualification, and Italy are likely to join them.
That would send Aaron Ramsdale, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice to the tournament, and possibly one or two more from Eddie Nketiah, Ben White, Emile Smith Rowe, and Reiss Nelson.
Jorginho wasn’t called up for the latest break, but assuming he gets decent minutes this season, he should be involved with Italy.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ukraine look like a long shot for the tournament after their recent defeat to Italy, but that could change if they could beat the Italians in the reverse fixture.
Group D
Arsenal don’t have any internationals in Group D.
Group E
Arsenal’s only international in Group E is Jakub Kiwior of Poland, but Poland are in a poor position in qualifying. They sit two points off the Czech Republic in second, who have played a game fewer, with Moldova also two points ahead of them.
Group F
Belgium are almost certain to qualify, taking Leandro Trossard with them.
Estonia and Karl Hein won’t qualify through their qualification group, but they could still get a chance in the play-offs due to their Nations League success. However, with their poor form, they may still struggle to qualify even with that second chance.
Groups G, H, and I
Arsenal don’t have any internationals in Group G, H, and I.
Group J
Portugal are very likely to qualify, giving chances to Cedric Soares, Nuno Tavares, and Fabio Vieira. But none of those three are currently in the national team setup. Perhaps Vieira has a shot if he continues his positive progress in the early stages of this season.
Iceland and Runar Alex Runarsson don’t look likely to qualify, sitting seven points back on the top two.
Our Prediction
Kai Havertz (Germany), Kieran Tierney (Scotland), David Raya (Spain), William Saliba (France), Aaron Ramsdale, Declan Rice, and Bukayo Saka (England), Jorginho (Italy), and Leandro Trossard (Belgium) will probably go to Euro 2024.
There may still be others, but those are the most likely as it stands.
