Dates for the diary: When will Liverpool’s 10 players at Euro 2024 be in group stage action?

We’re now only two days away from the beginning of Euro 2024, with the tournament set to whet the appetite of football fans across the continent until the new club season comes into view later in the summer.

There’ll be 10 Liverpool players in total at the finals in Germany, so LFC supporters will have plenty of interest throughout the group stage and beyond.

There’ll be Liverpool representation in the opening match of Euro 2024 as Andy Robertson leads out Scotland for the tournament opener against the host nation, having also captained his country at the previous finals three years ago.

He could come up against a former Anfield teammate in Emre Can, who’s been added to the Germany squad after Aleksandar Pavlovic was forced to pull out due to illness.

Hungary v Switzerland (2pm)

Another Liverpool player wearing the armband for his country is Dominik Szoboszlai, who’ll be aiming to atone for the heartbreak of missing out on Euro 2020.

He leads Hungary into battle against a Switzerland side featuring a former Red in Xherdan Shaqiri, who’ll be seeking to score at a third successive European Championship. If he does, the chances are it’ll be a show-stopping moment of brilliance – he doesn’t do tap-ins!

The former two are likely starters, with the ex-Bayern Munich midfielder probably left hoping to make an impact off the bench. Ex-LFC midfielder Gini Wijnaldum could potentially block the 22-year-old’s passage to the starting XI.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the most talked-about players in the England squad in the lead-up to the finals, with debate raging as to whether or not he’ll start against Serbia next weekend.

Joe Gomez is also with his national team at the Euros, although he didn’t start in either of last week’s warm-up friendlies and may need to make the most of any opportunities afforded to him by Gareth Southgate if he’s to break into the starting XI.

Portugal v Czech Republic (8pm)

Having scored against Croatia and provided an assist against Republic of Ireland in recent days, Diogo Jota arrives at Euro 2024 in fine form for Portugal, and he should get the nod to start from Roberto Martinez next week.

Vitezslav Jaros, who was on loan from Liverpool at Sturm Graz in the second half of 2023/24 and won the double in Austria, is set for a watching brief as a backup goalkeeper for the Czechs.

This’ll likely be the first match of Euro 2024 to see Liverpool players lining out against each other on the pitch, with Konate potentially facing three of his Anfield teammates in Leipzig, where the 25-year-old played his club football prior to joining the Reds in 2021.

Jaros’ side face the only debutants at the tournament in their second match in Hamburg, and the Czech will be aiming to stave off an upset against Khvica Kvaratskhelia and co.

Turkey v Portugal (5pm)

Should Jota and Portugal begin with a win over the Czechs, a repeat result against Turkey would book their passage to the last 16 with a match to spare.
