Reveals injury setback
Tielemans confirmed he was unable to play through his injury after being withdrawn from Belgium's lineup ahead of the World Cup quarterfinal against Spain, per RTBF. "Unfortunately, when the body says stop, you can't force anything"
Analysis: Tielemans was initially named in Belgium's starting XI before being removed prior to kickoff due to an injury sustained during the pre-match warmup. While the exact nature of the issue remains undisclosed, the midfielder suggested his body had reached its limit after an intense tournament schedule. His absence was a significant blow for Belgium, given his importance as a box-to-box midfielder and creative presence alongside Kevin De Bruyne. His status will continue to be monitored as further details on the injury emerge.
Well-rounded showing in USA tilt
Tielemans won two of three tackles and had two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and three corners in Monday's 4-1 win over USA.
Analysis: Tielemans wasn't as brilliant as in the previous match, where he had a brace, but he was a sound contributor nonetheless and made his presence felt on both ends, frequently pulling the strings in the midfield throughout the game. He has taken at least one shot in five consecutive tilts, totaling 11 (three on target) and registering eight chances created, 15 crosses (three accurate) and seven tackles (six won) during that stretch.
