Lukaku And Onana Join Belgium’s Injury List Ahead Of Final Nations League Match

Belgium has been hit by further injuries and must do without top scorer Romelu Lukaku and key midfielder Amadou Onana for their last Nations League group game against Israel in neutral Budapest on Sunday.

Belgian officials reported that Maxim De Cuyper, Romeo Lavia, and Arthur Theate missed the Group A2 match due to unspecified injuries.

Belgium had already been hit by injury withdrawals before Thursday’s 0-1 home loss to Italy, which eliminated them from the running for the quarter-finals.

Captain, Kevin De Bruyne had earlier asked to be excluded from the squad for the final two Nations League matches. Additionally, injuries ruled out Sebastiaan Bornauw, Koni De Winter, Jeremy Doku, and Youri Tielemans from selection.

Uncapped Coventry City striker Norman Bassette was called up as cover.
