Attention is turning to Belgium's expected starting lineup for their Group G opener against Egypt at the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Seattle.
According to European and American media projections, coach Rudi Garcia is leaning toward a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Thibaut Courtois in goal and Amadou Onana alongside Youri Tielemans in midfield.
Jeremy Doku remains one of the key attacking names to watch after returning to training following earlier fitness concerns, although his final role will only be confirmed when the official team sheet is released.
The main attacking surprise could come through Charles De Ketelaere leading the line, supported by Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard and Doku behind him.
Belgium are seeking a strong start in a group that also includes Iran and New Zealand, while Egypt are expected to rely on defensive organisation and the pace of Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush.
