Latest information on the Belgium vs Italy squad
Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco will be without several key players this week, despite welcoming Romelu Lukaku back after he withdrew last month. The list of absentees includes Kevin De Bruyne, Thomas Meunier, Jeremy Doku, Charles De Ketelaere, Youri Tielemans, and Malick Fofana. Romeo Lavia and Maxim De Cuyper, although having rejoined the squad, are still uncertain to play. To bolster the team, Tedesco has called up Samuel Mbangula from Juventus, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Killian Sardella, and Arthur Vermeeren.
On the Italian side, defender Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal) and midfielder Samuele Ricci (Torino) are absent due to injury, along with Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini of Atalanta, who will be unavailable before 2025. Manuel Locatelli replaces Ricci, competing with Nicolo Rovella for a place in midfield. Lorenzo Pellegrini is not included in the squad. In attack, Mateo Retegui and Moise Kean (who recently scored a hat-trick for Fiorentina) will compete for a starting spot.

Latest football match prediction: Belgium vs Italy
Belgium will face France in their fourth matchday in Group 2, hoping for a win after setbacks in the Nations League and Euro 2024 qualifiers. However, they lost 1-2 in Brussels, with Youri Tielemans missing a penalty and Randal Kolo Muani scoring a brace for France.
Previously, Belgium drew 2-2 with Italy despite playing with ten men, and their only victory was against Israel. Currently, Belgium is third, five points behind France and six points behind Italy, and may have to participate in a relegation playoff. To advance, they need to beat France and hope to secure a top-two finish.
On the Italian side, under the guidance of coach Luciano Spalletti, the team is showing impressive form with 10 points after 4 matches. If they don't lose to Belgium, Italy will qualify for the next round. Last month, despite being held to a draw by Belgium after Lorenzo Pellegrini received a red card, they still maintained their top spot in the group and beat Israel 4-1. Italy has quickly adapted to the new formation, and the victory against France was an important stepping stone. If they don't beat Belgium, Italy will have a decisive match against France at San Siro.
With Belgium facing personnel difficulties, Romelu Lukaku could be a major hope. A draw would be enough for Italy to advance, and a draw could be a reasonable outcome for both teams.
