Leandro Trossard joined the Belgium national team on June 5, just after helping Arsenal secure the Premier League title, and expressed eagerness to begin his World Cup campaign [1, 2]. He arrived late following Arsenal’s Champions League final, which ended in a stressful penalty shootout loss he described as "a lottery" [1, 2].
Trossard said, "I really can't wait to get started," reflecting his enthusiasm for the tournament ahead [1]. Despite limited preparation time—he had only completed one training session with Belgium as of June 5—he feels confident about his form. "I'm certainly in very good form, and I hope to carry that into the World Cup," he added [1, 2].
Belgium sees Trossard’s Premier League success as a positive boost for its World Cup hopes [1, 2]. While he is currently still an Arsenal player, Trossard did not rule out changes in his club status over the summer, saying, "At the moment, I am still an Arsenal player. We'll see what happens in the summer" [1].
Before departing for the World Cup in North America on June 8, Belgium will face Tunisia in a friendly match in Brussels on June 6 [1, 2]. The national team’s World Cup Group G campaign begins on June 15 in Seattle against Egypt [1, 2].
