5 stars who are yet to be unleashed at Euro 2020

#3 Timo Werner (Germany)

Romania v Germany - FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar Qualifier

Germany have not enjoyed a good Euro 2020 campaign so far. The Portugal performance was a big positive for manager Joachim Low, but Die Mannschaft produced two poor performances against France and Hungary in the group stages.

It has been surprising to see Chelsea star Timo Werner barely feature for his country at Euro 2020. The 25-year old endured a mixed debut season in the Premier League, but was a consistent starter for the Blues despite his struggles. For Germany, Werner has been reduced to a bench role.

Low has preferred to play Bayern Munich's Serge Gnabry up front, and Werner has made just two substitute appearances at Euro 2020 so far. Capable of playing on the left wing as well as a striker, it remains to be seen whether Low starts him against England.

#2 Jadon Sancho (England)

England v Republic of Ireland - International Friendly

The coverage around England manager Gareth Southgate's reluctance to utilise Jadon Sancho at Euro 2020 has been well-documented.

Regarded as one of the best young players in world football, Sancho has been phenomenal since joining Borussia Dortmund in 2017. A highly creative, pacy winger, he has made just one substitute appearance so far at Euro 2020 despite England's attacking woes.

Jadon Sancho has never been so close to join Manchester United. 🚨 #SanchoGap now reducing between #MUFC official proposal and Borussia Dortmund price tag after further talks. Deal not signed/completed yet - but progressing to final negotiation stages.

The 21-year old, who is closing in on a move to Manchester United, is clearly behind the likes of Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford in the pecking order. It looks likely that Sancho's bench role will continue for the time being.

#1 Joao Felix (Portugal)

Portugal Training Session and Press Conference - UEFA Euro 2020: Group F

Where is Joao Felix? The talented young forward is yet to make an appearance for Portugal at Euro 2020.

Signed by Atletico Madrid from Benfica in 2019 for a club-record fee of £114.5 million, Felix has not been a consistent performer for the Spanish giants. Despite that, his talent is unquestionable, and the fact that Portugal manager Fernando Santos has refrained from using him at Euro 2020 is surprising.

Felix was not even on the bench for the game against Germany, with an injury cited as the reason. With players like Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Diogo Jota not at their very best, Felix could prove to be key for Portugal in the latter stages of Euro 2020.
