Belgium will be deprived of several executives against France. Lukaku, De Bruyne, Onana… Aurélien Tchouaméni knows who will be missed the most.
Compared to last September’s match, Belgium will thus be deprived of Amadou Onana and Kevin De Bruyne, injured. Romelu Lukaku has again declined the selection, just like Thomas Meunier, and Thibaut Courtois is of course not back.
A good part of the “golden generation” has thus passed on for good, and one of the pillars of the new generation (Onana) is also absent. But for Aurélien Tchouaménicaptain of the French team present at a press conference this Sunday, it is perhaps Kevin De Bruyne who will be missed the most.
“Obviously, in his absence, it’s different. He’s one of the best players in the world and one of the best Belgian players of all time,” said the Real Madrid midfielder. In Rome, it was Charles De Ketelaere who digitally replaced KDB, without success.
Against France, we expect to see Leandro Trossard in number 10. In any case, Tchouaméni is not pessimistic for Belgium. “It will change something, for them as for us, that De Bruyne is not there. But there will be someone to replace him,” he believes.
France is deprived of Kylian Mbappé in attack, of course, but also of Dayot Upamecano in central defense. N’golo Kanté is also absent with a slight injury. The latter two started in September against the Red Devils.
