So let’s get into the coach’s head a few hours before this match against the Welsh. In goal, the last 7 games have been split between Mignolet (4 matches), Castles (2 matches) and Sels (1 game). So it’s been a while Thibaut Courtois no longer played for the national team. His last appearance dates from November 13, 2021 against Estonia. It’s time to put Courtois back in business. In front of him, Martinez should opt for a defense which could, why not, resemble that brought to start the world. Without Boyata, holder in the last two games against the Welsh, but who should be on the bench. Slightly injured, the neo-Bruggeois should leave his place. We could see it in the Netherlands. Denayer not “yet” coming into play, it would not be surprising to see the rear 3 composed of Alderweireld in the axis, Vertonghen left and… Dendoncker to the right. The recent matches played in this place by the new player of Aston Villa have been more than satisfactory. Dendoncker may have found his starting ticket for Qatar there.
