Graphic: Liverpool Premier League kings of Euro 2016; Chelsea representation shockingly low

Posted by

Liverpool will have more representation at Euro 2016 than any other Premier League club.

The Reds’ total of 12 players at the France finals is only matched by Italian giants Juventus.

They have five in the England squad – Nathaniel Clyne, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, James Milner and Daniel Sturridge – and three with Belgium – Simon Mignolet, Christian Benteke and Divock Origi.

Germany’s Emre Can, Slovakia’s Martin Skrtel and Wales duo Joe Allen and Danny Ward complete Liverpool’s Euro 2016 dozen. This BBC Sport graphic shows how their English rivals compare.

Tottenham Hotspur are close behind Liverpool with 11. Both Manchester United and Arsenal have 10 – if you include new signing Granit Xhaka and Hector Bellerin, who has been added to the Spain squad.

There is then a drop to Southampton’s magnificent seven. Surprisingly, money-bags Manchester City and Chelsea have less players than the Saints at a major tournament – an indictment of their poor seasons.
