De Bruyne left out

Manchester City's Belgian wizard, Kevin de Bruyne has been left out of squ owing to a groin injury sustained during Manchester City's 3-1 away win at Everton. Roberto Martínez will be looking to tweak his defense to make it a little tighter. 3-4-3 formation employed by Spaniard in recent fixtures has lent some balance to team, but Belgium will find mselves tested against better opponents. Belgium are in red-hot form in Euro 2020 Qualifiers. Eden Hazard and co have scored a total of 28 goals in Qualifiers and have conceded just one goal in ir last seven. Seven wins out of seven games so far means that Belgians sit comfortably on top of Group I.

Inter Milan's club record €80 million signing Romelu Lukaku is top scorer for Belgians, having netted six goals in four games. Lukaku scored two of his six goals in 9-0 drubbing of San Mari on Friday. Real Mrid's Eden Hazard is second on goalscoring list for Belgians, with former Chelsea winger having netted three goals in qualifiers so far. Napoli forward Dries Mertens ran rings around Kazakhstan defence in ir last encounter. Mertens produced a man-of--match display, as he scored one and set up two goals during Belgium's 3-0 win. Kazakhstan have failed to win in ir last three encounters with Belgians. Moreover, Belgium have conceded just one goal against Kazaks in ir last three encounters, having scored nine goals during ir previous three meetings. Unfortunately, even an unlikely win against mighty Belgians will count for little, as Kazakhstan have failed to qualify through Group I. This means that Michal Bilek’s will t be participating in Euro 2020 tournament.
