Belgium vs Israel Team News 

The big news from Belgium is the absence of top scorer Romelu Lukaku, who has been left out of the Red Devils squad in order to work on his fitness following his move to Napoli. 

Loic Openda should lead the charge in Lukaku's absence, with Jeremy Doku and Johan Bakayoko providing the width for the Red Devils. Leandro Trossard has been overlooked for selection, while Jan Vertonghen called time on his international career following Belgium's disappointing Euro 2024 campaign. 

Israel have no injury concerns ahead of their meeting with Belgium, with familiar faces Manor Solomon and Liel Abada set to start out wide for Ran Ben Shimon's side.
