Multiple Belgian media outlets are reporting that two Belgian veterans, Lukaku and De Bruyne, will not be participating in the Nations League matches in October.
It is understood that De Bruyne’s groin injury has flared up again due to a collision with Sommer during a match against Inter Milan, thus he will miss out on this round of the Nations League. Lukaku, on the other hand, has declined to participate for “personal reasons,” with no specific details disclosed.
As a result, both of them, who are captains of the Belgian team, are likely to miss the matches against Italy and France. However, looking at the bigger picture, the Belgian Football Association is not overly concerned; both players have already held talks with head coach Tedesco, and the association is confident they will be part of the squad for the 2026 World Cup.
