With UEFA Euro 2020 about to start, fans of the beautiful game are getting ready for the tournament.
Some of the biggest footballing names in the world will be on display at Euro 2020. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappe and Kevin De Bruyne will gun to glory for their respective countries.
However, there are some players who might not be able to showcase their talent or replicate their club's form at Euro 2020.
We look at five superstars who might not have a great impact in the tournament.
Trending
#5 Joao Felix (Portugal)
Portugal are among the favorites to win Euro 2020. Such is their strength and depth that talented forward Joao Felix might not even start for them.
Felix joined Atletico Madrid from Benfica for a club-record fee of £114.5 million in 2019, but he has been inconsistent with the La Liga giants. There are concerns that Felix is not suited to Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone's style of play. The forward has made 14 starts in La Liga, scoring seven goals and providing five assists as Atletico Madrid won the league.
The 21-year old has 16 caps and three goals for the Portugal national team. With the likes of Diogo Jota, Andre Silva and Goncalo Guedes vying for attacking spots at Euro 2020, Felix might have to make do with a bench role for Portugal.
#4 Ciro Immobile (Italy)
One of the best strikers in Serie A, Ciro Immobile's impact outside of Italy has been extremely poor, to say the least.
His stints with Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla did not go according to plan, but Immobile is Lazio's most important player. The 31-year old, who is likely to lead the line for Italy at Euro 2020, has scored 150 goals in just 219 appearances for Lazio.
With Torino's Andrea Belotti the other number nine in Italy's Euro 2020 squad, Immobile will have to start well at Euro 2020. He has 45 caps for the national team and has scored 12 goals.

#3 Eden Hazard (Belgium)
Regarded as one of the best wingers in world football during his spell with Chelsea, Eden Hazard's Real Madrid spell has not gone according to plan.
Having enjoyed seven trophy laden years with Chelsea, Hazard joined Real Madrid in 2019 for £103.5 million, amid much fanfare. However, the 30-year old has struggled with injuries since his arrival and has barely featured for Real Madrid due to fitness issues.
The Belgium international will be keen to make an impact at Euro 2020 for his country, but given his recent form, it seems unlikely. With the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne in fine form, they could outshine Hazard at Euro 2020.
#2 Raheem Sterling (England)
Manchester City were in stunning form throughout the 2020-21 season, but Raheem Sterling endured a quiet season for his club.
Sterling is one of the most experienced players in England's Euro 2020 squad. He made 28 Premier League starts for Manchester City, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists. The 26-year old produced some subdued performances this season. It will surely be a cause for concern for England manager Gareth Southgate heading into Euro 2020.
Sterling has 61 caps for England and has scored 14 goals. He will likely start for England at Euro 2020, but with the attacking talent the Three Lions have had, a few patchy performances could see him be dropped.
#1 Robert Lewandowski (Poland)
Arguably the best player in world football at the moment, putting Robert Lewandowski on this list is by no means a criticism of his talent or quality.
However, there are questions over Poland's squad for Euro 2020. The likes of Mateusz Klich, Jan Bednarek and Lukasz Fabianski have enjoyed fairly good seasons in the Premier League. But with Spain, Sweden and Slovakia in their Euro 2020 group the job is not going to be easy for Paulo Sousa's side.
There will be immense pressure on Lewandowski to perform at Euro 2020. The 32-year old, who scored 41 goals in just 28 Bundesliga starts for Bayern Munich, has 118 caps for Poland. He has scored 66 international goals.
