Hazard out of Belgium’s World Cup qualifiers squad
Borussia Dortmund winger, Thorgan Hazard, has been ruled out of Belgium’s upcoming internationals due to injury, the national team said on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old was last week named in manager Roberto Martinez’s squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Estonia, the Czech Republic and Belarus from September 2-8.
“Hazard is not fit and left the group this morning. He will continue his recovery at his club,” the national team said in a statement on Twitter.
Hazard had scored eight goals in 39 international appearances for Belgium and was part of the team that reached the quarter-finals at Euro 2020.
