BRUSSELS, Nov 5 — Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said today forward Romelu Lukaku will miss next week’s World Cup qualifiers with an ankle injury, with the Red Devils only two points away from clinching qualification for Qatar.
Lukaku suffered the problem in last month’s Champions League win over Malmo and has been sidelined for three games. Martinez’s side top Group E, five points clear of the Czech Republic in second place and can claim a place in next year’s World Cup two draws.Defenders: Toby Alderweireld , Dedryck Boyata , Jason Denayer , Leander Dendoncker , Wout Faes , Arthur Theate , Jan Vertonghen , Timothy Castagne , Thomas Meunier
