In a friendly match at the legendary Wembley Stadium, the England national team will face Belgium. Dailysports has prepared the latest news on the match, as well as the tentative lineups for both teams.

In the previous game against Brazil (0-1), England suffered two serious losses, both in the defensive line. Manchester City's right-back Kyle Walker is sidelined for 2-3 weeks due to a knee ligament injury. Additionally, Manchester United's center-back Harry Maguire picked up a minor injury but has returned to his team's setup.

For the second consecutive match, Bayern Munich's top scorer Harry Kane will miss the game due to an ankle injury.

Replacing Walker, England's head coach Gareth Southgate has called up young right-back Rico Lewis from Manchester City, who was with England U-21s. Along with him, Burnley's goalkeeper James Trafford has also been called up.

For the first time in his career, Arsenal's central midfielder Declan Rice will captain the England national team in this match.

In the previous match, Belgium played a 0-0 draw against Ireland, and they also suffered injuries. Nottingham Forest's goalkeeper Matz Sels was injured towards the end of the match and was replaced by Thomas Kaminski from Luton.

It's worth noting that Belgium's leader Kevin De Bruyne is missing this squad due to a minor injury. Real Madrid's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has been out since the start of the season due to a knee ligament tear and recently suffered a new meniscus injury.

Possible England line-up

  • Pickford – Konsa, Stones, Branthwaite, Gomez – Mainoo, Rice, Bowen, Bellingham, Rashford – Toney

Possible Belgium line-up

  • Kaminski – Meunier, Faes, Theate, Deman – Tielemans, Onana, Vermeeren – Bakayoko, Lukaku, Doku
