Trains individually on pitch

Debast (leg) has taken the next step in his recovery by completing an individual training session on the pitch, according to the Belgian federation.

Analysis: Debast had been working on an elliptical bike since arriving at Belgium's training base in Seattle, making his progression to pitch-based work a meaningful milestone in his recovery from the femoral attachment injury. He remains on course to miss the entire group stage but his improved fitness work is an encouraging sign as Belgium continue to target having him available for a potential knockout round should they advance from their group.

Continues rehab work

Debast (leg) has not yet participated in any collective training sessions since joining the Belgian squad in Seattle and is expected to miss the entire group stage, with the federation confirming he will remain part of the squad, according to Walfoot.

Analysis: Debast sustained the injury to his femoral attachment in the final stretch of the season and was initially ruled out until July, making his inclusion in coach Rudi Garcia's 26-man squad a bold decision that raised considerable discussion. Garcia opted to keep the Sporting Portugal center-back with the group with the objective of having him ready for the knockout rounds, a calculation made easier by the fact that this World Cup is the first to feature a round of 16. Since arriving at the Seattle Sounders' performance center in Renton, Debast has been working individually on his fitness, having been spotted on an elliptical bike outdoors while his teammates trained. The federation confirmed the decision to keep him with the squad was made in agreement with the technical and medical staff, giving Belgium every opportunity to have one of their best central defensive options available for the knockout stage should they advance from the group.
