A month after its victory in Lyon (2-0), the France team returns to Belgium, this Monday evening (8:45 p.m.), in Brussels for the 4th day of the League of Nations.
It’s already reunion time. Barely a month after its victory in the first leg in Lyon (2-0), the French football team returns to Belgium, this Monday, October 14, for the 4th day of the Nations League. Four days after their success against Israel (1-4), the Blues will try to string together a 3e consecutive victory to stay in contact with Italy, at the top of group 2 and which hosts the Israeli selection at the same time.
And for this meeting in Brussels, Didier Deschamps should rotate his squad somewhat. “There will be changes. (…) We will take stock of those who played on Thursday, but yes, there will be some changes,” confided the French coach to Téléfoot. And the Blues will have to be wary of this Belgian team which will surely be revengeful after the defeat suffered at the beginning of September, but also the elimination in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 last July (1-0).
But the Red Devils will be deprived of their usual captain Kevin de Bruyne as well as Romelu Lukaku and Thomas Meunier, who were left at the disposal of their clubs by coach Domenico Tedesco. Their absence, however, did not prevent Belgium from taking on Italy last Thursday on home soil after trailing by two goals in numerical superiority (2-2).
