Belgium will be looking to recover from their shock defeat in their Euro 2024 opening game when the Red Devils take on Group E leaders Romania at RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday.

Team news & squads
Belgium team news
Thomas Meunier, Axel Witsel and Jan Vertonghen remain as doubts after missing the Slovakia loss on account of their respective issues.
If Vertonghen is passed fit, the Anderlecht defender can replace Yannick Carrasco on the left, otherwise for Arthur Theate to take up the spot.
Zeno Debast and Wout Faes would continue at the heart of defence, while Jeremy Doku and Leandro Trossard are more likely than Johan Bakayoko to accompany Kevin De Bruyne in midfield.
Orel Mangala, Dodi Lukebakio and Youri Tielemans are all on a booking each going into the tie, risking a ban if they are booked again on Saturday.
Belgium possible XI: Casteels; Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate; Tielemans, Onana; Doku, De Bruyne, Trossard; Lukaku.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Casteels, Sels, Kaminski |

Iordanescu has a full-strength squad to pick from, except for Razvan Marin picking up a yellow card in the Ukraine win.
