Other clubs with multiple players participating include Manchester United (Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui), Fulham (Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Samuel Chukwueze), and Burnley (Axel Tuanzebe, Lyle Foster, and Hannibal Mejbri).
Top players like Mohamed Salah (Egypt/Liverpool), Omar Marmoush (Egypt/Manchester City), and Ismaila Sarr (Senegal/Crystal Palace) will be looking to make an impact for their countries.
