Tonight, John McGinn’s Scotland will draw the curtains open for Euro 2024 as they take on hosts Germany in Group A. Scotland are in a tough group containing Hungary and Switzerland as well as the hosts.

Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa are both part of the England camp and kick off their Euro 2024 campaign on Sunday against Serbia. Although the pair aren’t expected to start, they provide good back up on the bench; particularly Ollie Watkins who scored 27 goals for Aston Villa this season.

Youri Tielemans features in the Belgium squad in Group E, where they are favourites to top the table. Tieleman’s will likely start algonside names such as Kevin De Bruyne and Arthur Vermeeran in midfield. Since his senior debut for the Red Devils in 2015, Tielemans has made 67 appearances, scoring seven goals.

In the Copa America, Aston Villa have three representatives including World Cup winner Emiliano Martinez. The shot-stopper will be aiming to help his country win back-to-back Copa America titles this summer.

Jhon Duran will feature for dark horses Colombia whilst favourites Brazil have called up Douglas Luiz. Brazil and Colombia are both in Group D, so the pair will likely face each other on Wednesday 3 July.
