Romelu Lukaku
It’s been an injury-plagued season for Lukaku, and Lukaku’s presence on the Belgium roster means the likelihood of him overcoming his hamstring problem in time for the group stage seems unlikely.
“If he can’t play in the group stage, he won’t be with us,” Roberto Martinez said before the tournament.
Thomas Meunier
The winger suffered a broken cheekbone on Oct. 20. He was out of the club until the break but Roberto Martinez told him he was ready to play in Qatar and he would be on the plane.
