Euro 2024 continues today with Turkey vs Georgia in Group F action following the drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe in France’s 1-0 win over Austria last night.

And Vincenzo Montella’s side come into the tournament in terrible form having not won any of their last five outings. They were dispatched 6-1 by Austria in March and lost 2-1 to Poland in their final warm-up match ahead of the tournament.

But, Turkey have a talented squad with players such as Real Madrid’s Arda Guler and Benfica’s Orkun Kokcu looking to put their stamp on this tournament and ensure a better performance than Turkey’s bottom-placed finish at Euro 2020.

In contrast, Georgia are taking part in their first-ever international tournament after they beat Greece on penalties in the qualification play-offs. Since then they have played a confidence-building 3-1 win over Montenegro and, led by Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, will hope to cause an upset this evening.

Four Group F players to watch

The young Turkish midfielder has been overlooked this season due to injury and the performance of Jude Bellingham, but he put in a few impressive performances towards the end of the season, scoring four goals in three starts in LaLiga.

Four Group F players to watch

From Georgia: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Georgian enjoyed a brilliant2022/23 season and played a vital part in Napoli’s Scudetto win, but the team’s disappointing season means he has faded from the European football limelight.

Euro 2024 is the perfect opportunity to remind the continent of his undeniable talent.

Four Group F players to watch

From Czech Republic: Patrik Schick.

The Bayer Leverkusen forward wasn’t the first-choice striker for his club this season, but if he can replicate his standout performance at Euro 2020 – where he finished joint-top scorer with Cristiano Ronaldo, on five goals – then the Czech Republic should qualify, even if it is as a best-placed third team.

Four Group F players to watch

From Portugal: Joao Neves.

It’ll be Cristiano Ronaldo that attracts the viewers, but with so much established talent in Roberto Martinez’s side it may pay to keep an eye on a youngster.

Joao Neves has had an impressive season in central midfield for Benfica, provoking several media rumours linking him with teams including Liverpool and Manchester United.

A good performance at this tournament may be the key to securing one such transfer.

Roy Keane blasts Kylian Mbappé after bloody nose incident: ‘This is out of order’

The France captain, who created the only goal of the game which gave France a winning start to the tournament in Dusseldorf, was left covered in blood after his head hit the shoulder of Austria defender Kevin Danso following a challenge in the air.

Yet France boss Didier Deschamps was left incensed when Spanish referee Jesus Gil Manzano didn’t allow Les Bleus to make a substitute when the ball next went out of play.
