Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke and Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini have both had to withdraw from the Belgium national squad with injuries...
The Crystal Palace striker has had to return to London due to a knee injury he picked up, whereas Fellaini suffered a back injury.
Belgium's head coach Roberto Martinez confirmed the two players having to be withdrawn: "Christian Benteke has got a bit of a sore knee and the medical departments are working together.
"Marouane Fellaini had a little pain in his back and the Manchester United medical department are taking over him. He's going to miss the two games."
Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet also withdrew from the squad earlier this week through injury and the ex-Everton boss gave us an update on him.
"Simon will probably be out for eight to nine days with pain in his finger and his hand," Martinez said.
"But nothing serious - he should be fit and available for his club in the next game."
