He will find the PSG player in his vicinity this Monday evening, and it will be a corridor to watch.

But the Manchester City player hopes not to have to defend like in recent matches. The midfielder, still made up of Tielemans and Mangala, will be valuable in preserving this balance, in an opposition where Belgium will ultimately not have changed too much compared to the match in Italy since only De Cuyper leaves the starting team.
With Openda kept at the forefront of the attack, and Trossard in support a priori, the Red Devils will line up with a four-man defense, returning to classic. On the French side, Kolo Muani preferred Thuram. In central defense, Saliba will make up the central hinge, with Konaté.
