Brighton and Hove Albion players set for international duty this summer
Brighton and Hove Albion are set to be well represented at the Euro’s this summer. The Seagulls have had a busy and historic season as they embarked on their first ever European campaign but for some players there will be little chance for a rest. The international friendlies will soon kick-in as each country fine-tune their squads for when the action begins in Germany on June 14. The first match of the tournament should see Brighton represented in both camps as Germany take on Scotland at the Allianz Arena. Here’s all six Brighton players who are set for the European Championships this summer.
Lewis Dunk
The Brighton skipper will be hoping to make the final cut after selection for Gareth Southgate’s initial England squad. He has five caps for his country so far
Pascal Gross
The Germany international midfielder has impressed for Brighton this season and was confirmed in Julian Nagelsmann’s squad last week
Deniz Undav
The striker has been excellent on loan for Stuttgart. He was the highest scoring German in the Bundesliga this term and his place was also confirmed last week.
Jakub Moder
The midfielder impressed in the later stages of the season having recovered from a long-term knee issue. He should be included in Michal Probierz’s squad
Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Jakub Moder has been handed a UK driving ban for six months after being caught speeding on two occasions in 2022.
In October of 2022, the Polish international was recorded driving at speeds of 85mph, while he was caught once again in December of 2022 travelling at 81mph. In both cases, Moder was on his way to training with Brighton and was in a 70mph zone. He has accumulated 15 points on his driving license, resulting in a ban.
Moder does not currently own a UK driver’s license – before his ban, he was legally entitled to drive in the UK with a Polish driving license, which led to prosecutors going through an ‘administrative mess’ before they could finally reach a verdict. He has also been fined a total of £628, which can be broken down into three parts – a £292 fine, £220 costs and a £116 surcharge.
Moder has had a below-par season with the Seagulls this season, despite their relatively successful campaign in the Premier League – he made 17 league appearances in the 2023/24 season, bouncing around several roles, but failed to score a single goal or register any assists.
He joined Brighton in 2020 from Lech Poznan for a reported fee of £6 million. In addition to this, he has made 21 appearances for Poland on the international stage, scoring two goals along the way. He is expected to play a role for Poland in Euro 2024, having been called up to their international squad for the tournament. They are scheduled to square off against The Netherlands, Austria and France in their group.
