Belgium vs Senegal – Squad Availability & Injury Report

The World Cup Round of 32 tie between Belgium and Senegal kicks off at Lumen Field, Seattle, on 1 July 2026 at 20:00 UTC. Belgium arrive as Group G winners with 5 points and a +4 goal difference, while Senegal advanced from Group I with 3 points and a +2 goal difference.

Belgium Availability

Belgium have one confirmed absentee. Z. Debast (Injury) is sidelined. The defender’s absence slightly thins Roberto Martínez’s options at the back but the core of Belgium’s star-studded squad remains intact. With only one player ruled out, key attacking figures such as R. Lukaku and K. De Bruyne are available to lead a frontline that produced 6 goals in 3 group matches.

Senegal Availability

Senegal also have one enforced change. É. Mendy (Twisted Knee) is sidelined, removing an experienced goalkeeping option. The outfield unit, however, is at full strength, with in-form attackers ready to feature: I. Sarr (3 goals, 1 assist) and P. Gueye (2 goals, 1 assist) are both available after driving Senegal’s tally of 8 goals in the group stage.

Impact Summary

Both sides lose one player each, but neither absence directly affects their primary attacking weapons. Belgium’s attack remains built around Lukaku and De Bruyne, while Senegal can still rely on Sarr and Gueye to carry much of their offensive output.
