It seems that De Bruyne has been absent for two international breaks without representing the Belgian national team. But Lukaku seems to be present for this international break. Although previously Lukaku was also absent and did not participate in his national team's matches. But it is understandable because previously Lukaku wanted to focus on adapting to his new club, namely Napoli. The current match score shows that Belgium is still 1 goal behind in the first half. Italy managed to take a 1 goal lead thanks to a goal scored by Tonali in the 11th minute. I think Italy will win this match. Because they really dominated the game from the start and continuously put pressure on the Belgian defense. Belgium as the host seems to be trying to get out of the pressure but yeah it won't be easy.
It is understandable for Tedesco that he granted KDB's wish not to be in the squad for the last 2 months because apart from thinking about rotation and opportunities for some young players, KDB also seems to want to focus on himself and his professional career at the club level which is indeed in a tight schedule so he does not want to force himself with his body.
Now, Belgium still have to struggle because the score is still unchanged and there is indeed a slight change that occurs for the scheme in this match where it looks like Tedesco wants to try something new with a 2 striker scheme which previously always only kept Lukaku in the targetman.
