"Their 'golden generation' may have been and gone, but an exciting crop of young talent are bursting through, raising hopes across the country ahead of next summer's competition. You may like Kevin De Bruyne, who is ranked at No.1 in FourFourTwo's list of the best Premier League midfielders of all time, was not in the last squad after suffering a high-grade hamstring injury when taking a penalty for Napoli in October. There are reports he could miss the World Cup with his recovery set at at least four months."
"Manager Rudi Garcia has two excellent goalkeepers to pick from, with both Thibaut Courtois and Senne Lammens impressing in recent weeks. Incidentally, they both produced stunning performances at Anfield against Liverpool between the last two breaks, making 14 saves between them Jeremy Doku is also coming off the back of an eye-catching performance against Liverpool, with Leandro Trossard also full of confidence after he scored in Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Sunderland."
Belgium secured World Cup 2026 qualification, taking four of six points from matches against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein. Two friendlies against World Cup 2026 hosts are scheduled next. A new generation of young players is emerging and raising national optimism ahead of the tournament. Kevin De Bruyne suffered a high-grade hamstring injury in October while taking a penalty for Napoli and faces at least a four-month recovery, potentially missing the tournament. Romelu Lukaku missed the camp while nearing recovery from a high-grade thigh tear. Manager Rudi Garcia has strong goalkeeper options in Thibaut Courtois and Senne Lammens, and attacking form from Jeremy Doku and Leandro Trossard.
