Two great Premier League players meet when Belgium face Egypt in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah will turn 35 and 34 respectively during the tournament – it’s the latter’s birthday today – but both remain key to their countries’ chances of success in North America. Former Manchester City playmaker De Bruyne is one of several members of Belgium’s aging Golden Generation in the Red Devils’ World Cup squad, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and striker Romelu Lukaku also in the traveling party. The challenge for manager Rudi Garcia is how to get the most out of both his experienced core and a group of younger stars such as strikers Jeremy Doku and Charles de Ketelaere.
Liverpool legend Salah left Anfield at the end of the domestic season and this could be his last chance to shine on the global stage. The Egyptian striker has only played two World Cup games, both back in 2018 and both ended in defeat, so he will be desperate to help his country achieve a first ever victory at the tournament. And what better birthday present for the now 34-year-old? That win is perhaps more likely to come in the other Group G matches against Iran and New Zealand, but a win in Seattle would put Egypt in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages.
