- 12 o’clock 12. No Axel Witsel. Tedesco does not choose to summon Axel Witsel. “Witsel’s non-selection has nothing to do with his age (34 years old). I went to Madrid to impose my choice on him. It was not an easy choice, but I appreciated that I went to tell him personally. ” “He has done a lot for this team. I could talk about it for hours. I also told him it was a difficult decision, but the door remains open. Now I just want to see the younger players wake up Then we evaluate.” .

- 11 a.m. 45. Who will return on selection? Another question: who will return after a missed World Cup? Sebastiaan Bornauw, Orel Mangala, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Divock Origi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Dennis Praet, Thomas Foket, Brandon Mechele and Dodi Lukebakio were not there in Qatar, but now have a chance to be selected. Jason Denayer is in principle also on that list, but has not played for Shabab Al-Ahli since the end of last year. .
Who returns with selection?
Another question: who will return after a missed World Cup? Sebastiaan Bornauw, Orel Mangala, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Divock Origi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Dennis Praet, Thomas Foket, Brandon Mechele and Dodi Lukebakio were not there in Qatar, but now have a chance to be selected. Jason Denayer is in principle also on that list, but has not played for Shabab Al-Ahli since the end of last year.
- 11:42 a.m. What about Witsel and Meunier? Two more names with a question mark: Axel Witsel and Thomas Meunier. The first is no longer a regular basic player at Atlético Madrid and sees guys like Romeo Lavia knocking firmly on the door. Meunier is also in the sucker street at Dortmund, because after the World Cup he was never a titular. Or at least: at the reserves last weekend. .

- 11:40 am. Who won’t be there later? At least as fascinating as the selected ones: who will not be there later? Eden Hazard, Toby Alderweireld and Simon Mignolet are certainties after their international retirement. Youri Tielemans and Thorgan Hazard have been injured in recent weeks. In principle, the international matches come too early for them. There are also question marks behind the names of Dries Mertens and Jérémy Doku. The Leuven native has been missing the past two matches at Galatasaray with a knee injury. Doku was injured at Stade Rennais in the game against Marseille. Yesterday Michy Batshuayi also joined them. .
