Leandro Trossard

Leandro Trossard is a confirmed forward in Belgium's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, named in Rudi Garcia's final 26 alongside Romelu Lukaku, Jérémy Doku, Dodi Lukébakio, Charles De Ketelaere, Alexis Saelemaekers, Diego Moreira and Matias Fernandez-Pardo. The Arsenal forward is 31 at kick-off and brings 50 senior Belgium caps and 11 international goals into the squad. He is a versatile attacker who can play off the left or through the middle as a second striker, and this is his second World Cup after Qatar 2022.

Belgium face Egypt, Iran and New Zealand in Group G, opening against Egypt at Lumen Field in Seattle on 15 June. Rudi Garcia's side won UEFA Group J to qualify on 18 November 2025, and Trossard is confirmed in the forward group under captain Youri Tielemans.

Trossard is a forward whose role starts from the left, moving between wide areas and central pockets before arriving in the box to finish. His 11 international goals point to a player who contributes in front of goal, and he can shift centrally as a second striker when Belgium reshape their front line.

In Rudi Garcia's 4-3-3 he gives Belgium a wide attacker with end product. His movement off the ball is as much a part of his game as his finishing, and his 50 caps make him a familiar option in that forward group.

Belgium are a Tier 2 pick on the Goal Rush card at £24m within the game's £200m card budget, one of the second-band teams on the card. The Group G draw against Egypt, Iran and New Zealand frames the early fixtures.

Trossard gives that £24m slot a forward profile: 50 caps, 11 international goals, and the flexibility to play from the left or through the middle. His Goal Rush relevance comes from that scoring role, with the teamsheet confirming how Rudi Garcia uses him in the front line.
