Romelu Lukaku has been omitted from Belgium's squad for Nations League matches against Israel and France, despite being the all-time leading goalscorer with 85 goals in 119 appearances.
Lukaku's failure to score during major tournaments like the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024 led to his exclusion, with 11 shots and the highest xG of players who didn’t net.
With Lukaku absent, players like Lois Openda, Charles De Ketelaere, and newcomer Julien Duranville are vying to lead Belgium's attack in the upcoming Nations League.
Thibaut Courtois continues to be absent from the Belgium squad over a dispute with coach Domenico Tedesco, having vowed not to play under him.
