Ex-Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll has had her say after Jack Grealish was left out of the Euro 2024 squad.

The time has arrived as England are finally kicking off their Euro 2024 campaign this evening (16 June).

And, as always, we’re hoping for a positive result to get us up and running in the group, consisting of Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.

With Southgate’s lads set to take on Serbia in a short while, a lot of players missed out of the final 26-man squad, with the biggest shock being Manchester City's Grealish.

The midfielder scored just three goals and had three assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

"It's a big blow to Grealish and it is unexpected," said Sky Sports News senior reporter Rob Dorset, at the time.

Now, the Croatian model, who stole the show at the Qatar World Cup with her showstopper dresses, says she isn't just supporting Croatia.

She told The Sun: "Of course I want Croatia to win, and I support Germany as I was born and raised here.

"I think that France is one of the best teams, I'm sad to say that as we lost to them but they are an incredible team."

Reflecting on the World Cup, she said: "Qatar was a crazy experience, I never thought something could happen like that.

"When things settled down, and I realised what had really happened, it was something that I will never forget.

"Everything was amazing, the success of my country and I did things in Qatar that helped many women after me. I was happy about everything that happened."

Most importantly, she added: "I think England has a big chance also."

But Knoll reckons that no Grealish is good news for her team.

"I'm sad England doesn't have the best team selected but as a Croatia fan I'm happy," she jokes.

"With Mbappe not playing and all these other big players not playing then we have a bigger chance."
