Belgium has announced its squad for the upcoming World Cup, with Romelu Lukaku, who plays for Napoli, included despite ongoing injury issues. This marks Lukaku's fourth World Cup appearance, joining fellow veterans Kevin de Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois, who have 117 and 107 international caps, respectively. The experienced Axel Witsel leads the squad with 136 appearances. Lukaku's last match for Belgium was nearly a year ago, and he has struggled with fitness, playing only five Serie A games this season. Coach Rudi Garcia has opted not to include 17-year-old Nathan de Cat, who debuted in March, and forward Lois Openda, who has seen limited playtime at Juventus. Belgium's World Cup journey begins in Group G against Egypt on June 15, followed by matches against Iran and New Zealand. The team aims to improve on its previous World Cup performance, where it finished third in 2018 but faced a disappointing exit in 2022.
