Belgium will play in the League of Nations against Italy and France without Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, said the coach of the "red devils" Domenico Tedesco.
As he pointed out, De Bruyne still needs to recover, while Lukaku is absent for personal reasons.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois canceled his "obedience" to the Belgian coach last month, unhappy that he was not at the European Championship and withdrew from the national team, which further fueled the stories of a possible boycott of the biggest stars towards the coach.
De Bruyne is indeed injured, while Lukaku cited personal reasons.
In any case, the coming months will remove the dilemma. The Belgian football team will play against Italy on October 10 in Rome, and against France on October 14 in Brussels.
