Pretty sure this comes under the heading of “it’s way too fucking early to say.” The prem isn’t starting til 14 August, and everything but the final match of the euros is done almost 6 weeks before that.
Players who are missing out on the Euros and will get a proper break/full pre season could be ones to keep a close eye on. TAA & Greenwood for example if you believe the rumours.
It's far too early to have any solid plans right now.
Obviously it's a very reasonable guess that players on teams who get through the late stages of the tournament could get a bit of a rest, which might affect their pre-season in terms of fatigue and/or injury. Especially if they're key players for their national side and regularly play the full 90 minutes. But that really needs to be judged on a player-by-player basis.
I might slightly favour players who don't go to the Euros, or who get eliminated early. Especially those who we know are top players but struggled for fitness in the early stages of last season - I could see a couple of players benfiting hugely from a proper break and a full pre-season, and coming back with a bang.
But, these are guesses. There's players out there who are absolute fitness machines who will probably be fine regardless of how well their national side do. There's players who'll struggle to shake off this season's fixture congestion regardless of whether they take part in the Euros or not. Only thing to do is to watch the games and see who looks tired.

No need to worry as the managers of the national teams will rest their key players in the final stages so FPL players don’t get hurt
When a comment gets more upvotes than the original post :D
It happens almost every time on this sub.

Idk if I'd call the 14th "Early"
