Defending champions Italy have been handed a tough draw as they find themselves in Group B, alongside three-time champions Spain and 2018 FIFA World Cup finalists Croatia, led by veteran midfielder Luka Modric.

Modric’s Real Madrid teammate Toni Kroos has returned from international retirement and will represent the German national team.
