Strikers:
Robert Lewandowski – Poland
Lewandowski is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after strikers in the world right now, but where he succeeds so well at club level with Borussia Dortmund, he can’t help but fall short on the international stage as the Poles are yet to utilise the talent available to them.
A poor campaign saw them finish in fourth place in Group H, and the final game defeat to England cost the manager his job, though Lewandowski was as guilty as any of his team-mates for missing some good chances at Wembley.
Burak Yilmaz – Turkey
The Turkish side are a strange one. So frequently do the interchange between looking like potential dark horses to absolute no hopers. Unfortunately for them, this time around it was the latter as the finished fourth behind Holland, Romania and Hungary in Group D.
Yilmaz, much like Lewandowski, has seen a clamour for his services as of late thanks to his excellent domestic form. Sadly, though, Turkey’s finest just aren’t on his wave length and they will be forced to sit this one out.
