What has been said?
A post from the Belgium national team’s Twitter account confirmed: “Thorgan Hazard won’t travel with the team to Saint Petersburg.”
What is the nature of the injury?
The Borussia Dortmund winger is believed to have suffered a knock on his knee during the Denmark game. He also did not train with the rest of the squad on Saturday.
Is there any other Belgium team news?
Yes.
Martinez confirmed during his pre-match press conference that veterans Axel Witsel, Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne will start Belgium’s fixture against Finland following their recent injury problems.
“Eden, Kevin and Axel will start against Finland because we need to see how (fit) they are and how long they can play,” Martinez said.
“And it’s an opportunity for us to stretch their match fitness to the maximum level.”
Belgium has already qualified for the last 16 after their wins against Russia and Denmark.
