Impact Mykolenko has yet to appear in Euro 2024 but is finally healthy enough to compete, as he is in the starting XI Wednesday. This is a huge addition back for the team, as he is one of their better players and is expected to play a crucial role on the left flank, likely continuing as a starter if Ukraine moves on in the tournament.

The only question is where he will line up, as there is a chance he could be left on the bench, but his ability earns him a spot in the starting XI, especially with their tournament life on the line.

Ashley Young - Staying with Toffees Young signed a one-year contract with Everton, stating "it was a no-brainer."

It's unlikely he'll have the same kind of role at 39 years old, but his versatility allowed him to start in numerous positions when needed and it could again be a calling card for minutes in the coming season.
