Belgium will face the World Cup co-hosts in Seattle in the early hours of Monday night/Tuesday morning, with kick-off at 1am UK time.

The list of Chelsea’s Belgians include Premier League champions, Player of the Year winners and one of the greatest talents ever to grace the Stamford Bridge pitch.

Ahead of tonight’s game, we take a look at every Belgian player to have represented the Blues…

Eden Hazard

What can you say about Hazard that hasn’t already been said? A contender for Chelsea’s greatest ever player, the winger scored 110 goals across his seven seasons at the Bridge, more often than not created by a moment of individual brilliance.

Two Premier League titles, two UEFA Europa Leagues, one FA Cup and one League Cup were all secured during his time shining on our flank, along with his individual Premier League Player of the Year in 2014/15 and a record four Chelsea Player of the Season awards.

The numbers tell only part of the story though. It is the incredible moments and memories that he left as his real legacy in west London – that solo run half the length of the pitch against Arsenal, the goal that denied Tottenham Hotspur the title at the Bridge, weaving into the box against Liverpool, saying farewell with a brace in his last game in the Europa League final – there are just too many to mention.

Thibaut Courtois

The goalkeeper had some big gloves to fill when he returned from his loan at Atletico Madrid to challenge Petr Cech to become Chelsea’s new No1 between the posts, but he met the challenge admirably to take the spot and the Premier League title in his first season.

He conceded fewer goals than anyone else and kept 13 clean sheets, and surpassed that tally by three take the Goldon Glove award as we claimed a second top-flight title in 2016/17, in addition to clean sheet in the 2018 FA Cup final win over Manchester United.

Michy Batshuayi

Although not prolific in terms of goals or appearances after scoring 25 goals in 77 games across a six-year Chelsea career which ended in a series of loans, the striker nonetheless provided some big moments for the Blues. They usually came as a substitute, most memorably when netting the goal which secured victory away at West Bromwich Albion to seal the 2016/17 Premier League title.

Romelu Lukaku

It is fair to say Lukaku never quite managed to live up to the expectations in either of his two spells at Chelsea. During the first, as a raw but promising teenager, he struggled for playing time and left without a goal to his name.

The second was as a more experienced target man arriving off the back of two high-scoring campaigns with Inter Milan, but he was unable to replicate that form in west London, falling short of double figures for Premier League goals before returning to Italy.

Romeo Lavia

Romeo Lavia joined the Blues from Southampton in August 2023. The midfielder has made 43 appearances for the club so far across all competitions, four of which came during our triumphant FIFA Club World Cup campaign in the USA last summer. He could be joined in the first-team squad by Mike Penders next season.

Kevin De Bruyne

Now one of the veterans of Belgium’s World Cup squad, De Bruyne was an inexperienced 20-year-old when he left his homeland for the first time to join Chelsea in January 2012.

After loan spells back at former club Genk and then Werder Bremen, the young De Bruyne was added to our first-team squad for the 2013/14 season, but things never really clicked for him under Jose Mourinho and he departed midway through the campaign after making nine appearances.

Charly Musonda

The attacking midfielder began a scholarship in the Chelsea Academy in 2013 and was part of FA Youth Cup, UEFA Youth League and Under-21 Premier League winning sides before joining the senior squad.

He scored on his first start, against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, but it would be his only goal in seven games – five of them as a substitute – as injuries took a toll on his career.

Diego Moreira

The winger is one of the younger members of Belgium’s World Cup squad after some strong showings at Strasbourg, but it was mainly in youth football he featured for Chelsea. His sole senior appearance for the Blues came in a League Cup win over Wimbledon early in the 2023/24 campaign.
