Turkey Euro 2020 Squad – Hakan Calhanoglu and Lille trio headline the team

Turkey’s Euro 2020 squad was announced on the deadline day as Senol Gunes’ men managed to qualify for back-to-back tournaments for only the second time in the country’s history.

The Crescent-Stars did a fine job in the qualifying series, finishing runners-up to France in Group H, four points clear of third-placed Iceland with a single loss from ten games.

Everton loanee Cenk Tosun, who finished the qualifying campaign as Turkey’s top scorer with five goals, has not made the final squad due to injury.

However, Gunes can rely on in-form Lille striker Burak Yilmaz to should the scoring burden following the experienced striker’s impressive Ligue 1 season.
