Euro hosts Germany have two friendlies, taking on France in Lyon and then the Netherlands in Frankfurt. National team coach Julian Nagelsmann has picked three Leverkusen players for his squad in Florian Wirtz, Jonathan Tah and Robert Andrich for these final matches before the summer’s tournament.
Granit Xhaka also has a couple of friendly fixtures as Switzerland take on Denmark and Ireland. Things are more serious for Bayer 04 captain Hradecky, however, as Finland go to Wales in their play-off semi-final. Should the Werkself goalkeeper win, his nation will then face either Poland or Estonia for a place at Euro 2024.
Nathan Tella and Nigeria have two friendlies in Marrakech against Ghana and Mali, while Amine Adli’s Atlas Lions take on Angola and Mauritania. Africa Cup of Nations winners Ivory Coast and Odilon Kossounou have friendlies against Benin and Uruguay.
Some squad for other countries have not yet been confirmed and will be added here when announced.
