Team news & squads

France team news

Following his standout performances at the Olympics, where France secured a silver medal, Michael Olise earned his first call-up and started on Friday. He will now compete with Ousmane Dembélé for a spot in the lineup.

Didier Deschamps also introduced Bradley Barcola to the squad for the match against Italy, with impressive results. However, he has largely retained the core of his Euro 2024 team, although free-agent Adrien Rabiot and Inter Milan's Benjamin Pavard have been omitted.

After the team conceded three goals, Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano are in line for a potential promotion from the bench. Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani are available as alternative attacking options for the hosts.

Belgium team news

With Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois sidelined due to a long-standing feud with Domenico Tedesco, Belgium will also be without their all-time leading scorer, Romelu Lukaku, who is being rested after his recent move to Napoli.

Jan Vertonghen has retired from international duty, and Arsenal's Leandro Trossard did not make the squad as Tedesco gave younger talents a chance to shine in the game against Israel. This included Maxim De Cuyper, Arne Engels from Celtic, and Borussia Dortmund’s Julien Duranville.

In Lukaku’s absence, Manchester City stars Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku will support the sole striker, Lois Openda, in the frontline.

Belgium possible XI: Casteels; Castagne, Faes, Theate, De Cuyper; Onana, Tielemans; Bakayoko, De Bruyne, Doku; Openda

PositionPlayers
Goalkeepers:Casteels, Sels, Kaminski
Defenders:Meunier, Castagne, Debast, Faes, Theate, De Cuyper, De Winter, Bornauw
Midfielders:De Bruyne, Tielemans, Carrasco, Onana, Vermeeren, Saelemaekers, Mangala, Vranckx, Engels
