News from the camp of Ukraine's rival in the Euro-2024 group. Personnel problems continue to haunt the national team of Belgium.
No sooner had the information appeared that the main defender of this team Thomas Meunier because of a muscle injury, which he received in a friendly match with Luxembourg (3:0), will not go to Euro-2024 as part of his "Red Devils", as it became known about the problems of another player.
We are talking about the midfielder of the Belgian national team Axel Witsel. He also has muscle problems. This was reported by the head coach of the Belgian national team Domenico Tedesco.
"Witsel also felt something - he also has a muscle problem, but not as serious as Meunier. His replacement in the match against Luxembourg was more of a precautionary measure (Witsel in this meeting was replaced at halftime - ed.),"Tedesco said in comments to Het Laatste Nieuws.
We should add that now the Belgians have problems with three more players. Jan Vertonghen, Arthur Theate and Juri Thielemans are completing their recovery from injury, and it is not clear when the coaching staff of the Belgian national team will be able to count on them.
Recall, at the European Championship, the national team of Belgium will start the match with Slovakia, and with the national team of Ukraine it will play in the final, the third round of the group stage (June 26).
