”I’m a little nervous.” Domenico Tedesco did not hide some concerns regarding the experimental eleven that he will line up this Wednesday once morest Serbia at Heysel. There won’t be much work on the international level once morest a team which is also close to qualifying for the Euro.
But the coach knows that this meeting is his last opportunity for massive tests before the German tournament this summer. In March, he will still have two friendlies but he has already announced that he will then put his best possible team. And, unless the situation turns around, there should be no preparation match in June, just before the Euro.
In goal, Casteels should find his place following his injury in October. He needs to accumulate minutes with the Devils given the probability of not seeing Courtois return. Either because of his injury or his sulkiness.
Doku and Lukaku at rest, initially
It is in defense that we should see the most new things. Tedesco has found his quartet (Castagne, Faes, Vertonghen, Theate, from right to left). This time he wants to test the understudies. Deman as left back, Theate as left central in case of a problem with Vertonghen and Al-Dakhil right central. The coach would have liked to see Saelemaekers as a right back (even if he plays left winger in Bologna) but he will not recover from his injury in time. We might see him more on Sunday once morest Azerbaijan. Castagne would therefore remain in place this Wednesday.
In the middle, Tielemans should receive a new chance, he who has found a little smile at Aston Villa. With probably Mangala next to him. Onana will only be retyped for Sunday.
Up front, Openda will play up front, asserting himself even more as Lukaku’s true understudy in place of Batshuayi. He should be supported by Trossard in the axis, surrounded by Carrasco on the left and Bakayoko on the right. Doku and Lukaku would thus be left to rest, with the possibility of getting into the game, like other boys who will fight for a place in the 23 (Vranckx, Vermeeren, Debast…).
On the Serbian side, little information has filtered out as training in Tubize and the press conference were canceled by bad weather. We should see a mix between regular starters and some tests. Mitrovic and his teammates will play a decisive qualifying match this Sunday once morest Bulgaria.
