England v Belgium team news

England
Harry Maguire, Kyle Walker and Sam Johnstone have withdrawn after Saturday's defeat to Brazil, joining Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka on the sidelines. Rico Lewis and James Trafford have joined the squad and Cole Palmer and Jordan Henderson face fitness tests.

Belgium
Kevin De Bruyne will not be involved at Wembley but striker Romelu Lukaku could feature after missing the draw in Ireland due to a groin strain. In the absence of Thibaut Courtois, Luton's Thomas Kaminski and Nottingham Forest's Matz Sels are vying for a start in goal.

England v Belgium predictions

Euro 2024 favourites England suffered their first defeat since the 2022 World Cup on Saturday when Brazil teenager Endrick tapped in a late winner at Wembley.

Beaten 1-0 by Brazil, Gareth Southgate's men are odds-on to bounce back against Belgium but they will have to cope without several of the manager's most trusted starters.

Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka pulled out of the squad before Saturday's friendly and England's attacking unit looked disjointed without the Bayern Munich and Arsenal stars.

Defenders Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire have also returned to their clubs due to injuries so Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite may win his first cap against Belgium.

Anthony Gordon, Kobbie Mainoo and Ezri Konsa made their England debuts on Saturday but, with prep games running out before this summer's Euros, Southgate would surely prefer to have a full-strength squad at his disposal.

While Endrick ended England's post-World Cup unbeaten run, Belgium have gone 11 games without defeat under Domenico Tedesco, who replaced Roberto Martinez after the Red Devils' shock group-stage exit in Qatar.

They were grateful for Evan Ferguson's missed penalty in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Ireland but hope to welcome back record goalscorer Romelu Lukaku at Wembley.

Although Kevin De Bruyne is sidelined, Belgium have exciting creative talents such as Arsenal's Leandro Trossard, Manchester City's Jeremy Doku and PSV's Johan Bakayoko available.

They had scored 26 goals in ten games under Tedesco before the stalemate in Dublin and look a tempting draw-no-bet selection to beat a reshuffled England side.
