Five players to watch from the Bundesliga for the Euro 2024 group B, which includes the nations of Spain, Croatia, Italy and Albania.
Alejandro Grimaldo - Spain
Álex Grimaldo joined Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen last summer, and since then he has formed a part of a revolution at the club with his partner at wing-back in Jeremie Frimpong.
His technical ability and ability to roam forward from the defensive position is what sets him apart from other players in his position.
However, with only two appearances for Spain (both coming in the last year) he will hope that his club performances and recent Spain appearances have convinced Luis de la Fuente to give him the nod over players like Marc Cucurella .
Dani Olmo - Spain
RB Leipzig's Dani Olmo has been a mainstay in the Spain squad for some time, dating back to his time at Dinamo Zagreb five years ago.
He has become a key players for Spain in the midfield and scored a goal in his last tie for La Roja against Brazil in the 3-3 draw.
Dani Olmo has had some standout performances this campaign, notably the performance in the DfL Supercup against Bayern Munich as his hat-trick denied Harry Kane his first ever trophy at the Rekordmeister (record champions).
Josip Stanišić - Croatia
Josip Stanišic is a player who was a highlight of Simon Rolfes' astute business last summer in the transfer window. On a loan from Bayern Munich, his positional versatility has seen him player anywhere from wing-back to central defence.
He has already collected eighteen caps for the heavily talented Croatian national team, with his rise coinciding with his defensive team mate Joško Gvardiol. With morale seemingly pretty high even with the tough group, Croatia will no doubt once again be dark horses this tournament despite their recent World Cup success.
Andrej Kramarić - Croatia
Andrej Kramarić featured once again for Croatia in their impressive 2-1 win over Portugal in their final game before Euro 2024. His role as one of the experienced players in the squad is the highlight of Croatia's young talent and older experience blend.
Being Luka Modrić's likely last tournament for the Checkered Ones, Kramarić will be relied on to carry on his everlasting form in the Bundesliga which saw him score fifteen goals in the twilight of his career.
Klaus Gjasula - Albania
Perhaps coming into this tournament as one of the weakest sides, it is Albania and Darmstadt's thirty-four-year-old veteran Gjasula that will be relied on heavily.
Suffering under the poor season at Darmstadt in the Bundesliga, Klaus Gjasula still remains one of the strongest players in this Albania squad. Playing 22 times for Torsten Lieberknecht's side in defence this season, he ranks within the top two % in the Bundesliga for tackles per ninety minutes.
