Belgium have been dealt a blow ahead of their match against Turkey, with Romelu Lukaku unavailable for the fixture. The news puts the squad selection into sharper focus.
Openda also sidelined
The absence of Lukaku is compounded by a fitness problem for Loïs Openda, who is currently being treated in the medical room. With both forwards out of contention, the picture for Belgium’s attack becomes clearer.
Cuypers earns his place
Those circumstances help explain the call-up of Hugo Cuypers, who has been selected to bolster the front line. His inclusion now looks more understandable given the injury setbacks within the squad.
