Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku is doubtful for the match after missing training on Monday and Tuesday following and injury sustained against Tunisia.


Coach Roberto Martinez is likely to rest Lukaku even if he is fit to play, explaining that the Manchester United forward knows the team is more important than individual accolades such as the Golden Boot.
Other key players such as defenders Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen could also be rested, meaning they may miss the chance to go up against club teammate Harry Kane.
