Axel Witsel, Belgium's centrepiece, was supposed to miss Euro 2020
The Dortmund midfielder was given a 'zero per cent chance' of making the competition in January - instead, he's driving Belgium forward

Starts back-to-back matches
Witsel had three clearances and a foul drawn in Sunday's 1-0 win against Portgal.
Impact
Witsel has gone a full 90 in back-to-back matches, which is somewhat surprising given that he just returned from a ruptured Achilles. His return from injury is something for the record books, as it seems like he's back to his usual self, holding down Belgium's midfield, a great sign for Borussia Dortmund ahead of next season.

Makes bench Thursday
Witsel (Achilles) is on the bench for Thursday's match against Denmark.
Impact
Witsel hasn't played since January because of a ruptured Achilles and he's only expected to be a bench option in this tournament. Still, it's a good sign in his recovery and he gives Belgium another defensive midfield option if needed.

Not traveling for opener
Witsel (Achilles) is not traveling to Russia for Belgium's opening match on Saturday.
Impact
It looks like Witsel still has an issue with his Achilles unless something else brewed up in the past couple weeks. He was strangely included in the squad despite not appearing since January because of a ruptured Achilles. Given that absence, there's no reason to think he competes for Belgium in the Euros.

Training with Belgium squad
Witsel (Achilles) joined his international teammates on the training pitch Friday after being called up to the squad ahead of the 2020 UEFA European Championship.
Impact
Witsel has been out of action since rupturing his Achilles tendon in domestic action with Borussia Dortmund on Jan. 9. At the 2018 World Cup, the midfielder registered six shots (one on target), 11 tackles and six interceptions in six matches for the Red Devils. If he is fully fit, Witsel could be in the mix to make regular starts for Belgium during the 2020 Euros.
