Alexis Saelemaekers will watch from the bench as Belgium takes on Spain in the World Cup quarterfinals today. The Milan winger's team will need a strong performance to overcome the favored Spanish side. A win would set up a semifinal matchup against France, which eliminated Morocco 2-0 yesterday. This could be a rematch of the 2024 European Championship final.

Saelemaekers is expected to start on the bench, according to Sky Sport's probable formations. Rudi Garcia appears to prefer other options for now. The Belgian team's chances are considered slim, with Spain being one of the top contenders for the title.

The Milan club has an obvious interest in this match, given Saelemaekers' presence on the team. His performance could impact his role in upcoming games.

Belgium faces a tough challenge against Spain, which has been in strong form. Saelemaekers will look to make an impact when he comes on.
