Having lost to France in their Nations League semi-final on Thursday, Belgium face European champions Italy in the Juventus Stadium and will have to try to secure third spot without the pair ranked first and second in their all-time goalscoring list. "They're not in best conditions to play. They're leaving the national team camp due to these problems - I don't know how long it will take for them to recover."

"Obviously there is an excellent understanding between the two sets of medical staff and we want to do the best for the player," he added."Every decision is also made in agreement with the club."
