For Türkiye, Uzun is a young attacking midfielder in the 26, with 5 senior caps to his name so far. He goes to the tournament as one of Montella's options in the middle rather than as an established international.

Uzun plays the middle for Eintracht Frankfurt and turns out for Türkiye, his 5 caps the badge of a central squad pick. Türkiye are set as a £10m team in Tier 4, a squad priced within the game's £200m card budget, and they get started in Group D in the weeks ahead.

Uzun carries it through to the tournament proper, his finals involvement settled some time ago, a squad call Montella made this summer.
