Correct me if I'm wrong but!

Oscar Bobb, Sander Berge, Luc de Fougerolles, Issa Diop are through to the last 16 and Tim Castagne, will very probably get game time for Belgium against Senegal on Wednesday and possible join them.
Now there can't be many teams of Fulham's size and punching weight who have five players. Who arent just there to make up the numbers in the greatest football tournament of them all?

We could very well have six players in the last 16. Don't forget Jedi. They're playing Bosnia.

Thank you, I knew I'd get it wrong as soon as I pressed post

I don't want to be a debby downer as I think Palace have a bajillion players in the round of 32, but here's a full list of PL teams and their players in the round of 32 in the WC according to Gemini:

Here is the ranking of all 20 current Premier League clubs (for the 2026/27 season) based on the number of players they have representing their national teams in the Round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

As an AI, I am pulling from the most up-to-date sports data available to me right now. While this list is highly comprehensive, please note that a few specific squad lists—namely the full details for Manchester City, Tottenham, and Sunderland—are not completely indexed in current public reports, so their counts reflect only the *known* players who successfully advanced past the group stage. Players from nations like Scotland, Turkey, and Uruguay have been excluded as they were eliminated in the groups.
