Key Players for Belgium

Though Belgium has a great mixture of experience and talent at their disposal, few players are key to Roberto Martinez’s aspirations. Kevin de Bruyne had a great English Premier League season after the injury and he inspired to keep Manchester City’s title hunt alive. He played a pivotal role in Manchester City’s Carabao Cup and Premier League victories.

Youri Tielemans, the Foxes’ midfielder, played a key role in winning the FA Cup. His strike from outside the box helped Leicester City to win their first ever FA Cup. Playing as No 6 for Leicester City in the English top-flight, Tielemans had 10 G/A to his name. The ball-playing midfielder will be pivotal for Roberto Martinez’s goals.

Romelu Lukaku helped Antonio Conte to win the Serie A with 35 G/A to his name. He scored 24 goals for Inter Milan in the Italian top-flight. The player was a key figure in FIFA World Cup 2018 as well. Leading the line, Lukaku can shape the Belgium’s future in Euro 2020.
