Belgium have confirmed their list of call-ups for the 2026 World Cup, with Arsenal forward Leandro Trossard featuring on the squad list.

The announcements makes Trossard the third Arsenal player to receive a call-up, following the recent announcements that Viktor Gyokeres will be involved with Sweden, and William Saliba has been called up by France.

With the other unconfirmed squads, Globo Esporte report that Arsenal trio Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus have at least all made Carlo Ancelotti’s 55-man preliminary squad for the World Cup.

That list will be slashed to just 26 names on Monday, May 18th, and the three Arsenal players remain in contention to feature in the final squad.

The other countries set to announce their squads next week include Portugal (Vieira), Norway (Odegaard), Germany (Havertz), and England (Rice, Saka, Eze, Madueke, Lewis-Skelly).

Spain (Raya, Merino, Kepa, Mosquera, Zubimendi) and the Netherlands (Timber) will then announce their squads the following week, with Ecuador’s exact announcement date currently unknown.
