Trossard: It's great when players join the national team after winning a trophy

Arsenal's Leandro Trossard is eager to play a significant role for the Belgian national team at the upcoming World Cup. "I really can't wait to get started," he stated at a press conference today, a day after belatedly joining the squad following last week's Champions League final. "Everyone is full of enthusiasm as the World Cup campaign begins, which is very positive. So far, I've only managed one training session, so I haven't seen much, but everyone is focused and ready for the 2026 World Cup to kick off," Trossard added. When asked if he is currently in his best form, Leandro Trossard commented: "That's always a difficult question to answer. I am certainly in very good shape and I hope to demonstrate that in the upcoming tournament."

Winning the Premier League title is also a positive for Belgium's hopes, he believes: "It's great when players arrive having won trophies, but that doesn't change their status. Not mine, but I will try to bring that experience to the national team. We had a very good season with Arsenal. Of course, it's disappointing how the Champions League ended, but we still had a fantastic season and we are very proud of winning the English title. The title celebrations and parade were fantastic." Regarding his club future, Trossard revealed nothing: "Currently, I am still an Arsenal player. We will see what happens over the summer." Belgium will play a friendly match against Tunisia in Brussels on Saturday before departing on Monday for North America, where their World Cup Group G campaign begins in Seattle on June 15 against Egypt.
