Romelu Lukaku is out of his country’s crucial Nations League clash against Switzerland, Belgium confirmed in a statement.
Lukaku was unable to play in Thursday’s 2-0 home win against Iceland in League A’s Group 2.
And a hamstring injury will keep the Manchester United striker out of Sunday’s decider in Switzerland.
Lukaku returned from injury in the Manchester derby last weekend, winning a penalty in United’s 3-1 loss away to rivals Manchester City.
But he has not been deemed fit enough to travel with the rest of Roberto Martinez’s squad.
@RomeluLukaku9 did not travel with us today. He is still injured (hamstring) and will miss #SUIBEL. #REDTOGETHER
