Eden Hazard misses Belgium training

[Wales-Bales]

Belgium are still waiting to find out if Eden Hazard will be fit for Friday's Euro 2016 quarter-final against Wales.

Chelsea forward Hazard, 25, scored a superb individual goal in the 4-0 win over Hungary, but picked up a thigh injury and has missed training since.

"We are working on getting him 100% fit," said Belgium manager Marc Wilmots.

"I cannot give you a specific time when that will happen, nor can I tell you that he will be OK."

He added: "I really hope he will be able to train on Wednesday - but he still has some pain in his thigh."

Probably bollocks. We need to prepare as if he is playing and as if he is going to have another absolute blinder.

Doubt if they'd risk Hazard if there's a hazard that he'll risk injuring himself.

Is his brother in their squad then?

Hopefully Wilmotts will rest both the Hazard twins for the semi-final.......

Reports of Vertonghen out injured.... would be great if true as their back four will be a massive weak point

They'll of course have Alderweireld, but Vermaelen is banned, obviously no Kompany, and their remaining defenders are inexperienced or not that great

It's beginning to sound like things are going our way, which somehow starts to feel more of a worry.
I'd rather we remained supposed underdogs! We do well on that diet.

The one game we were genuine underdogs we lost.
