Hungary and Switzerland kick off their Euro 2024 campaigns with a match against each other at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne.
Marco Rossi and Murat Yakin have their 26-man squads confirmed now, so will have to progress through the tournament with the players available.
Here’s how the squads are shaping up.
Hungary have influential goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi back in action for the national team after he suffered an ACL injury early in the 2023/24 season.
Key to Hungary’s success will be the performances of Dominik Szoboszlai and Barnabas Varga who were joint-top scorers for their country in qualifying.
As mentioned above, Dominik Szoboszlai was Hungary’s top scorer in qualifying and he remains their most high-profile player.
For the Swiss, Breel Embolo has been included in the squad for the Euros but he hasn’t played in a month after suffering an injury while playing for Monaco. It seems to be touch and go whether he will participate in the tournament at all.
The Switzerland squad is packed full of tournament experience, with the likes of Granit Xhaka, Fabian Schar and Ricardo Rodriguez all Euros veterans.
Granit Xhaka is coming off a marvellous double-winning season with Leverkusen.
Hungary (3-4-2-1) Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, Szalai; Nego, Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Szoboszlai, Sallai; Varga
Switzerland (3-4-2-1): Somme; Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Ndoye; Shaqiri, Vargas; Amdouni
