Euro 2024 could be the last time we see these six stars at a major tournament Euro 2024 could well be the final swansong for a number of big name players this summer. The sight of football icons such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric playing on the major international stage for potentially one last time will be a sight to savour for football fans.

Would this incredible starting XI of Euro 2024 absentees actually win the whole thing? Euro 2024 will see some of the continent’s finest stars battle it out for European Championship glory, but for a number of high-profile players, they will be forced to watch from home like the rest of us. Flip flops, rather than football boots, will be the order of the day for those stars who will be playing no part in Euro 2024 with injuries, failure in qualifying and bans ending the dreams of many players. And whilst England and their star-studded squad may have been installed…
