Belgium will recover a fundamental piece against Romania in the second match of the Euro: Axel Witsel. The Atlético de Madrid center back is now ready after missing the debut against Slovakia due to an injury in his team’s friendly prior to the tournament against Luxembourg.
The tough defeat now complicates their aspirations in the Euro and to do so Belgium needs to win the two remaining matches: Romania and Ukraine. Although the defeat against Slovakia once again showed the terrible offensive inefficiency of the forwards, especially Lukaku, the problems at the back were also evident.
The Slovakian goal was preceded by an error in the start of Doku and neither the centre-backs nor the goalkeeper Casteels himself were excessively fine when it came to clearing the action. To alleviate this weakness, Witsel’s return seems essential.
The colchonero has been one of Simeone’s soldiers since he arrived at Atlético. Last year he played 32 league games and this year, 35. He has 132 international games at 35 years old. A legend that Belgium needs so that the team has more strength in its mission to try to right the course and qualify for the round of 16.
