Brighton's six players heading to Euro 2024

That is in terms of players who ended the domestic season on the Seagulls’ books, although of course things might change before club football returns.

But can any of them make it a hat-trick of celebrations after the club feted Alexis Mac Allister and Simon Adingra following recent tournaments?

Mac Allister played a significant role for Argentina as they won the World Cup – and was one of eight Albion players at the tournament.

Adingra was even more prominent for Ivory Coast as they won Afcon on home soil.

Of course the dream is for Lewis Dunk to be the man who completes a treble by helping England to their first Euros success.

Pascal Gross and Deniz Undav will be seen as having a chance with Germany, which would emulate Adingra in terms of winning as hosts.

Many will remember how Holland won the European Championship when it was last staged in Germany back in 1988.

Bart Verbruggen will be with the Oranje squad looking for a repeat.

Billy Gilmour and Jakub Moder will be proud participants with Scotland and Poland respectively and, while they are outsiders to lift the trophy, you never quite know with the Euros.

So how do the six Albion men stand as we head into the competition?

Lewis Dunk (England)

State of play: The defender emerged as regular contributor for England over the last season with five of his six caps coming since last September. Any action he sees during the Euros would represent his first for his country in a competitive fixture rather than a friendly. He had occasional tricky moments for club and country but they have been over-played in what was generally another long season of dependability and progression.

Form and fitness: He missed the final game-and-a-half of the domestic season with a minor knee injury but has played 48 high-intensity matches this season and England have been taking good care of him in the run-up to Germany.

Chances of playing: There appears to be debate among observers over whether Dunk gets the nod to partner John Stones, who is expected to be the first choice. While many seem to feel Marc Guehi will play, Dunk looks a more obvious like-for-like replacement for Harry Maguire, who misses the tournament with a calf injury.

Pascal Gross (Germany)

State of play: The midfielder’s belated emergence in international football is very similar to that of his great mate Dunk. With Germany not having to play qualifiers, his seven caps so far have all come in friendlies, starting in tough style with a 4-1 home defeat by Japan. But he comes into the tournament on a high after his late winner in the final dress rehearsal at home to Greece.

Form and fitness: Gross is fitter than ever and is continuing to impress German observers, to the point where there is reported interest in taking him back home from within the Bundesliga. Albion fans have heard that before, about two years ago, but the fact remains his time in the Prem has turned him into a far better player than the man who left Ingolstadt in 2017. Gross has made it clear the current period is all about international football - and rightly so.

Chances of playing: While he may well struggle to be there in opposition to Billy Gilmour from kick-off tomorrow, there is no doubt Gross will have his role to play for the hosts. Robert Andrich and Toni Kroos are likely to form the initial engine room but Gross’s quality, versatility and durability stand him in good stead.

Deniz Undav (Germany)

State of play: Made the most of his loan stint in the Bundesliga with Stuttgart, scoring 18 league goals, and forced his way into the international set-up. Such is his trajectory, he could be one of those who emerge during the tournament if Germany go far.

Form and fitness: He has played more regularly and with more success than with Albion but only had 45 minutes across the two recent friendlies.

Chances of playing: Will have to wait for his chance but it could come. He ranked highly with Stuttgart for goals per 90 minutes (0.77) and marginally outperformed his xG, which is the sort of opportunism he may require if minutes are limited in the tournament.

Bart Verbruggen (Holland)

State of play: This feels like a massive opportunity at just the right time for the Albion goalkeeper. He secured first-choice status for his club in the last two months of the season and been confirmed as Ronald Koeman’s No.1 for the Oranje. That will make him, at 21, the youngest Dutch goalkeeper ever to play in a tournament – and by some way. Jasper Cillessen, who holds that record, was 25 during the 2014 World Cup.

Form and fitness: Koeman and Roberto De Zerbi have spoken of his improved work with the ball at his feet and he was near perfect in that respect in the last two friendlies.

Chances of playing: He will start against Poland in Hamburg, then it is up to him.

Billy Gilmour (Scotland)

State of play: Comes into the tournament after something of a breakthrough season with exactly 50 matches for club and country combined, although both Albion and Scotland lost some momentum in recent months.

Form and fitness: Has had a good season, despite injury and suspension issues in more recent times. He played about 70 minutes in each of the two recent friendlies.

Chances of playing: Very good – but not a certainty to start. There is strong competition in midfield.

Jakub Moder (Poland)

State of play: Finally returned from long-term injury last autumn and Poland boss Michael Probierz could not wait to get him back into the squad. The recall came on the day Albion went out of the Europa League but he had limited playing time as Poland then came through the play-offs.

Form and fitness: Missed the World Cup due to his serious knee injury so will be delighted to be fit for this tournament. Has probably not quite got back to his best since returning.

Chances of playing: It looks like he will be a very useful man to have coming off the bench. Maybe he will have forced his way in by the time Poland close their group fixtures by facing mighty France. The Poles are outsiders to go through in a group which also involves Holland and Austria.
