Didier Deschamps has also called up Bradley Barcola, who performed well against Italy, but maintains faith in the bulk of the squad from Euro 2024; Adrien Rabiot and Benjamin Pavard are among the players left out.

After conceding three goals, Jules Kounde and Dayot Upamecano could be brought into the starting line-up, while Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani are backup attacking options.

Belgium will be without goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois due to a fallout with Domenico Tedesco, and top scorer Romelu Lukaku, who plays for Napoli, is also absent. Veteran defender Jan Vertonghen has retired, while Leandro Trossard has not been called up. Tedesco has opted for youngsters such as Maxim De Cuyper, Arne Engels and Julien Duranville. In Lukaku's absence, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku will continue to support lone striker Lois Openda.

Latest France vs Belgium football commentary

Although France got off to a fast start with a Bradley Barcola goal, the 3-1 loss to Italy reflected a worrying lack of consistency in Didier Deschamps' squad.

Having conceded three goals in the final minutes of the game, France have not only lost points but are also under pressure to recover their form ahead of their next game. Coach Deschamps, who led France to World Cup and Nations League titles, now faces a huge challenge to restore team morale and improve their playing style.

France cannot afford to drop any more points in their upcoming games, especially given UEFA’s new format, which sees the bottom team relegated. This puts a high bar for Deschamps to adjust his tactics and formation accordingly, as the team continues to find the optimal mix of young and veteran players. The absence of key players like Kylian Mbappe, who can make a difference, and uncertain tactical decisions against Italy are raising concerns about the team’s ability.

Belgium, on the other hand, have made a strong start under Domenico Tedesco, with Kevin De Bruyne shining with two goals against Hungary. The addition of young players and the absence of some big names such as Thibaut Courtois and Romelu Lukaku have not diminished the team's effectiveness.

Belgium are now aiming to not only maintain their lead but also improve on their recent form. While Belgium have good form and confidence from their win over Hungary, they will also need to continue to improve their defence to prepare for the challenges ahead, especially against France – a team with a strong history against them and hungry for revenge.
