But more important to Roberto Martinez’s side, they have been handed a golden opportunity to coast through the qualifiers for the 2020 UEFA European Championships, being placed in Group I where the highest-ranked competing team will be Scotland, who currently hold the 40th position on the FIFA table.

Belgium, who were blown out 5-2 by Switzerland in their final Nations League game on November 18 of last year, will now be missing one of their most potent goal-scoring forces in Romelu Lukaku, who will sit out the Russia match, per AS.com , with the same foot injury that kept him out of Manchester United’s FA Cup match over the weekend.
