‘Billion pound bottle jobs’ Chelsea could only have four players at Euros… less than Bournemouth and Fulham

Chelsea – dubbed the ‘billion pound bottle jobs’ – could only have four players heading to Euro 2024, less than Bournemouth and Fulham.

A study carried out by BetFootball.com has revealed which Premier League teams will have the largest and smallest contingents at the tournament.

Despite Todd Boehly splashing the cash to assemble the current Chelsea squad, the west London fallen giants will be poorly represented in Germany come June.

Connor Gallagher, who has earned 11 caps in his England career, will likely be on the plane with Gareth Southgate looking towards him to bolster the nations midfield options at the tournament.

His fellow countryman, Ben Chilwell, is looking to return to the squad with England’s left back options diminished through injuries.

Cole Palmer, who has served as a shining light for Chelsea’s subpar season, is looking likely to make his first appearance for England at a tournament.

Meanwhile Goalkeep Djordje Petrovic is set to join Serbia on their Euro 2024 campaign this summer.

Owner Boehly has spent over £1billion on players since he took over at Stamford Bridge.

Yet Chelsea are currently 11th the Premier League and look set to miss out on European qualification this season.

It could cost under fire gaffer Mauricio Pochettino his job in May.

The £89 million pound winger Mykhailo Mudryk is unlikely to be there.

His nation Ukraine have to face Bosnia and Herzegovina in the a playoff semi final and then the winners of Israel and Iceland to get there.

Their £62 million signing Roméo Lavia who joined the Blues last summer will miss the tournament through injury.

Other notable players set to miss out on the tournament are Frenchmen Christopher Nkunku and Axel Diasi.

They were branded the “billion pound bottle jobs” by Sky Sports pundit and ex-England star Gary Neville during their Carabao Cup final loss to Liverpool.

The Blues blushes will not be saved this summer with the London-based club having less players representing them at international level than neighbours Fulham.

The Cottagers will likely be sending five players to the tournament including goalkeeper Bernd Leno who is set to continue his stint as an understudy for host Germany.

The sought-after João Palhinha will be continuing his rise as he represents Portugal at the Euros.

Saša Lukic will be heading to the tournament with Serbia.

Timothy Castagne is also looking to feature for Belgium this summer.

Number two goalkeeper Marek Rodák will also be heading to the tournament with Slovakia.

Fourteenth-placed Bournemouth will also be sending five players to the tournament.

Philip Billing will be turning out for Denmark and Ryan Christie will likely be part of Scotland’s squad.

Andrei Radu will be representing Romania, meanwhile Enes Ünal will represent Turkey.

Milos Kerkez will be involved with the Hungary squad.

Triple winners Man City are set to have the most with 14 of its players representing their countries this summer.

That is despite star man Erling Haaland being on the beach after Norway failed to qualify.

Arsenal and Man United are both tipped to have eight, with Liverpool and Tottenham due to send six of their players.

Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Burnley will likely only have one each.
