The Red Devils will take on Ireland on Saturday evening. This will be the first of two big tests before the European Championship.
The Red Devils will play a practice match against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday. This is the first of two major tests with a view to EURO 2024. The match against England follows on Tuesday.
Our national team will have to do without a number of important players. Romelu Lukaku will not be there tonight against Ireland, but probably will be on Tuesday.
Kevin De Bruyne and Charles De Ketelaere are also not present. The latter dropped out at the last minute and did not even fly. Koen Casteels will also not play.
This way, national coach Domenico Tedesco can do some testing. Tielemans is expected to be in the team to compensate for the loss of KDB.
Ireland is 62nd in the FIFA world rankings. An old acquaintance who is expected in the base is Josh Cullen. The Burnley midfielder played for Anderlecht from October 2020 to July 2022.
There is also a great talent at the front with Evan Ferguson. The 19-year-old Brighton striker is valued at around €60 million. He has already scored three times in eight international matches.
