Nathan Ngoy, the LOSC centre-back, is set to start again on Monday against France at 20:45 in the Nations League. According to L'Équipe, he has shaken off injuries and made mental and physical strides to sustain his progress.

His rapid emergence in Ligue 1 and with Belgium over the past season, and his sustained consistency, have stood out.

His potential was recognised at Standard Liège before a transfer to LOSC in summer 2025.

Repeated injuries had masked his scope for improvement and hidden his pace and covering ability.

Another start would underline his rise as a long-term option for both club and country.
