Debast is the future of Belgian central defense, and the present too — Garcia trusts him as the left-sided ball-player alongside De Winter or Theate. His Sporting development under Amorim has given him a system fluency few 22-year-old defenders possess.

Strengths

Ball-playing distribution from defense
Reading of the game beyond his years

Recent form

Sporting starter and Champions League regular; pencilled in as Belgium's first-choice left-sided center-back.

Was Belgium's youngest World Cup debutant in over 60 years when he came on against Morocco in Qatar 2022 at 18.
