Mike Penders was available for Belgium’s Nations League match against Türkiye on 2 October 2026, returning to the matchday squad after missing the Italy and France fixtures through injury. Belgium won 3-0, and Chelsea reported that the goalkeeper was an unused substitute: he was back in contention, but did not play.
What changed for Penders?
On 28 September, Chelsea reported that Penders “was not involved due to injury” for Belgium’s match against France. The club did not identify the injury. Chelsea’s report on the France fixture confirms the absence.
RotoWire’s 2 October update described the injury as a thigh injury and reported that Penders had returned to Belgium’s matchday squad, on the bench behind Senne Lammens. That specific injury description comes from RotoWire, not Chelsea. RotoWire’s player update covers the return.
Did Mike Penders play against Türkiye?
No. He was an unused substitute in Belgium’s 3-0 win on 2 October. Chelsea’s match report establishes his place among the substitutes, not an appearance or playing minutes. Read Chelsea’s report on Belgium versus Türkiye.

What was Belgium’s schedule in this international window?
Chelsea’s 21 September call-up guide described the September and October dates as one two-week international window, running from 21 September to 6 October. It listed Penders in Belgium’s squad for four Nations League fixtures:
| Date | Fixture | What the cited reports establish about Penders |
|---|---|---|
| 25 September 2026 | Italy | The call-up guide lists the fixture; the reports covered here do not establish whether Penders played. |
| 28 September 2026 | France | Chelsea says he was absent due to injury. |
| 2 October 2026 | Türkiye | He returned to the matchday squad and was an unused substitute. |
| 5 October 2026 | France | The call-up guide lists the fixture; the reports covered here do not establish whether he participated. |
The schedule and squad listing are in Chelsea’s September–October call-up guide. Being named in the squad for the window does not establish his participation in each listed match.
