Belgian fans are eagerly anticipating Friday when Domenico Tedesco will announce his squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against Israel and France. Key players Kevin De Bruyne and Roger Lukaku are in limbo regarding their international futures.

De Bruyne, who has earned 105 caps since his debut in 2010, expressed concerns over potential injury due to an overloaded schedule. Meanwhile, Lukaku, Belgium's record scorer, awaits a move to Napoli and has not been training with Chelsea's first team.

After a disappointing European Championship, Tedesco is expected to introduce significant changes for the matches, including left-out goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The matches will take place on Sept. 6 in Debrecen, Hungary, and three days later in Lyon, France.
