Hamit Altintop was a mainstay of Fatih Terim's side during the successful Euro 2008 qualification campaign and should be one of the first names on the team-sheet for the finals.
The German-born midfielder is blessed with pace to burn and a powerful shot which has left some of the Bundesliga's finest goalkeepers grasping at thin air. He joined Bayern Munich on a free transfer in the summer of 2007 after four years and over 100 appearances for Schalke.
Altintop made the right midfield position his own during 11 appearances in qualifying, in which he scored twice and set up three further goals.
He is the elder twin brother to fellow Turkey international Halil Altintop, who is also part of Turkey's Euro 2008 squad.
Newcastle midfielder Emre may not always have been able to demonstrate his abilities during his time at St James' Park, but he is recognised as a key member of the Turkey squad. The combative and experienced Emre is expected to be handed the captaincy by coach Fatih Terim and their success this summer could depend on how he performs.
Middlesbrough forward Tuncay Sanli is another Premier League representative who will be on show in Austria and Switzerland this summer.
Tuncay took time to settle into life at the Riverside, but his displays in the latter part of the season proved his class in front of goal.
Another player familiar to fans of English football is Kazim Kazim, better known as Colin Kazim-Richards. The former Bury, Brighton and Sheffield United player is now on the books of Fenerbahce.
