Leandro Trossard’s position in his first appearance at Euro 2020 was even more of a surprise than his place in the starting line-up was to Belgium insiders.
Roberto Martinez deployed the versatile Brighton & Hove Albion attacker as a right wing-back in Belgium’s 2-0 win against Finland in their final group fixture last Monday.
It begs the question could that be another string to Trossard’s bow under Graham Potter at Brighton after surprising international counterpart Martinez with his performance in the new role.
Trossard was restored to more familiar territory by Martinez as a substitute for last night’s 1-0 win in the last 16 against 2016 champions Portugal in Seville. Thomas Meunier, his replacement for the final 15 minutes against Finland, came back into the side.
