Euro 2024 injuries threaten to ruin the fun. The tournament is here – but not everyone we expected to see will be involved.
And no, we're not just talking about the Welsh. Before Euro 2024 has even kicked off, there have been plenty ruled out after being called up to their squads. With the deadline for replacing players passed, teams have to make do, now.
So who's missing from action?

Ruled out
Euro 2024 injuries: players already ruled out of the tournament
| Row 0 - Cell 0 | Nation | Injury |
| Frenkie De Jong | Netherlands | Ankle |
| Teun Koopmeiners | Netherlands | Groin |
| Marten de Roon | Netherlands | Knee |
| Sven Botman | Netherlands | ACL |
| Gavi | Spain | Knee |
| Lucas Hernandez | France | ACL |
It's unconfirmed – but it looks like Pedri could be out of the rest of the Euros.
The Barcelona starlet trudged off early against Germany in the quarter-final, being replaced by Dani Olmo. With persistent injuries so far in his young career, this is a big worry for club and country.
Still could feature
Euro 2024 injuries: players who could feature at the tournament
| Player | Nation | Injury |
|---|---|---|
| Luke Shaw | England | Lack of fitness, following muscle injury |
| Kylian Mbappe | France | Broken nose |
| Arda Guler | Turkey | Fatigue |
| Granit Xhaka | Switzerland | Muscle strain |
Luke Shaw made the headlines at his spot in Gareth Southgate's final 26-man squad was confirmed, despite seeing virtually no game time in 2024. The Manchester United man is England's only left-back in Germany, though, with his recovery still ongoing - he missed the Three Lions' first two games of the tournament.
Kylian Mbappe's broken nose is the headline injury of the tournament so far. The France skipper missed Les Bleus' match against the Netherlands on Friday, though he has not been ruled out of the tournament and is set to don a mask when he returns. His team-mate Aurelian Tchouameni managed to make a return to the starting XI against the Netherlands, however, after missing the win over Austria.
