Debast gets fresh start in Belgium, calls it a brighter spell | OneFootball

Zeno Debast returns to Sporting after a good stint with the Belgian national team. During this break for international commitments, the central defender rose to the status of a starter under Rudi Garcia in the routs against Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan.

In addition to moving up to the starting 11 of his national team, the ‘number 6’ of the Alvalade Club played the full 120 minutes in the two 6-0 Belgian victories of this double round of qualification for the 2026 World Cup. This includes the current form of the 21-year-old athlete.

Following the rout against Azerbaijan, Zeno Debast had the opportunity to comment on his new life serving Belgium: “In recent months there is something much more positive. Our players are highlighted in their clubs and this is important for us”.

After the recent performances of the central defender for the green and whites, it wasn't just Rudi Garcia who turned his attention to the player. Ruben Amorim has also been closely following his former pupil, with the possibility of Manchester United moving for the Belgian in the next transfer window.

At the start of this season, Zeno Debast - valued at 30 million euros - has already played five official matches with the Sporting jersey. The ‘number 6’ of the lions has, so far, 324 minutes of play, but still without any goal or assist to his name.
