Belgium predicted XI v France: Mika Godts to start, Mike Penders out | OneFootball

Belgium face France in the UEFA Nations League on Monday night, however, they will do so without Chelsea shotstopper Mike Penders and Besiktas’ Leandro Trossard.

Penders has sustained a quadriceps injury, whilst former Arsenal forward Trossard is recovering from a heel injury. It is Manchester United’s Senne Lammens who is expected to start in goal against Zinédine Zidane’s side. On the left of the attack, it is Paris Saint-Germain forward Mika Godts, who has struggled since making the move to the Parc des Princes in the summer, who is expected to start.

Meanwhile, there is also expected to be a start for Lille OSC defender Nathan Ngoy, but the likes of Lois Openda, Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Malick Fofana, and Romelu Lukaku may have to settle for places on the bench.
