Belgium ought to line up with nearly all of their big-hitters for Thursday's UEFA Nations League semi-final with France at the Juventus Stadium.

Roberto Martinez has no injury concerns with any senior players to work around in his back three, and a familiar rearguard should see Thibaut Courtois, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen all feature.

There is more uncertainty surrounding the final centre-back spot, but Dedryck Boyata will still aim to get the nod over Jason Denayer in the middle of the rearguard.

Competition is also rife for spots out wide, where Timothy Castagne and Yannick Carrasco will hope to start, especially with Thorgan Hazard and Thomas Meunier now out due to injury.

Neither Castange nor Youri Tielemans have enjoyed the brightest of starts to the new season with Leicester City, but the latter should still line up alongside Axel Witsel in the engine room.

Seeking to finally banish all of his previous fitness woes, Eden Hazard should line up from the first whistle for a game of this magnitude, but Leandro Trossard has put his name in the hat amid Brighton & Hove Albion's dream start to the 2021-22 campaign.

Kevin De Bruyne's return to fitness will also see him operate in the final third, as Romelu Lukaku spearheads the attack for a Belgium side desperate to claim a long-awaited piece of silverware.

Belgium possible starting lineup: Courtois; Alderweireld, Boyata, Vertonghen; Castagne, Witsel, Tielemans, Carrasco; E. Hazard, De Bruyne; Lukaku
