The preparation is over for the Red Devils who will get to the heart of the matter this Monday evening, against Slovakia. Who will be the starters aligned by Domenico Tedesco? Here is our probable eleven for this entry into the running in this Euro 2024.
Belgium enters the tournament this Monday against Slovakia. The Red Devils will be keen to start the tournament well to forget the disillusionment of the last World Cup. Here are the men who will probably be lined up in this meeting.
To defend our cages, the mystery has been lifted by the coach, it is Koen Casteels who will be our starting goalkeeper in this Euro in the absence of Thibaut Courtois.
At the back, Domenico Tedesco will not be spoiled for choice. Thomas Meunier is still in Belgium, Axel Witsel has not trained with the group in recent days, and it is hard to imagine the coach taking the risk of starting Jan Vertonghen and Arthur Theate, just back from injury. The defense should therefore consist of Castagne, Debast, Faes and De Cuyper.
In the midfield, captain Kevin De Bruyne will obviously be there, as will Amadou Onana, who has become an integral part of the defense. To accompany them, Orel Mangala seems to be starting with a head start over Youri Tielemans, injured during the last two friendly matches and who will perhaps receive playing time to get back into rhythm.
Having entered a new dimension at Manchester City, Jérémy Doku should be aligned on the left side and will have the difficult task of creating gaps in the opposing defense. Romelu Lukaku will be, barring any major surprises, our scorer and will have to win his duel against Skriniar, with whom he played at Inter Milan. On the right, there is a match between Trossard who has been discreet but effective during the last two meetings and Bakayoko, a real winger with his great dribbling skills.
