At 21:00 on the evening of October 10th, Beijing time, Belgium will challenge Italy in the third and fourth place in the UEFA Europa League final. However, the two main players of the Belgian national team, Lukaku and Hazard, have been injured. They have both left the national team and are not participating in the game.
In the UEFA Europa League semi-finals this week, Belgium lost 2-3 to France, Lukaku and Hazard both started, Lukaku also scored a goal. However, the Belgian national team coach Martinez announced that the two have left the national team due to injuries. “They are not in good physical condition and are not suitable for the competition, so they have to leave the national team training camp. I don’t know how long it will take them. To recover.”
The Belgian national team is currently preparing for the game in Italy, and Lukaku will return to Belgium for treatment after leaving the team before returning to the Chelsea club. Martinez said: “He is a little tired. He feels that he will not be able to recover 100% in tomorrow’s game. His muscle tissue is sore. Taking into account the interests of the players, every decision made involves the medical team of both the club and the national team. Obviously, the medical staff of both sides understand each other, we all hope to be the best for the players, and every decision is made in agreement with the club.”
Hazard has not played a lot in Real Madrid this season, but Lukaku immediately became the absolute main force after returning to Chelsea this summer, and has now scored 4 goals for Chelsea. In the next round of the Premier League, Chelsea will challenge Brentford away. If Lukaku cannot recover in time, it will be bad news for Chelsea.
In fact, the Belgian national team does not value the third or fourth place in the UEFA Europa League. Belgian goalkeeper Courtois has publicly stated: “This weekend game against Italy is meaningless, and it will compete for third place in the UEFA Europa League. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t understand why we are playing this game. I will treat this as a friendly match.”Return to Sohu to see more
