Belgium forward Romelu Lukaku has scored 68 goals in 102 capsFifa World CupHost nation: Qatar Dates: 20 November-18 December Coverage: Live on BBC TV, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app. Day-by-day TV listings – full coverage detailsTEAM NEWS
Striker Romelu Lukaku is still unlikely to feature in Belgium’s second World Cup group match against Morocco despite being ahead of schedule in his return from a thigh injury.
Wing-back Thomas Meunier and forward Lois Openda could start after coming off the bench against Canada.
Morocco full-backs Achraf Hakimi and Noussair Mazraoui will be assessed.
Yahia Attiyat Allah replaced Bayern Munich’s Mazraoui against Croatia and could deputise once again.
An injury-plagued season has seen Lukaku play five times and complete 90 minutes just once since rejoining Inter Milan on loan from Chelsea.
His latest problem has seen him sidelined since the end of October and he missed Belgium’s 1-0 win over the Canadians before resuming team training on Friday.
“Medically Romelu was only available for the third game, but he’s ahead of where he should be and the signs are very good,” said boss Roberto Martinez.
“I don’t expect him to be involved on Sunday unless something very good happens today [Saturday].”
CHRIS SUTTON’S PREDICTION
Belgium got a bit of a scare from Canada but I am expecting them to be much better this time.
Morocco weren’t bad in their draw with Croatia, but we know the quality that Belgium have got.
Prediction: 2-0
