On Sunday the Belgium team had an open training session, allowing fans to come and watch their heroes in preparation for the friendly against the Netherlands on Tuesday evening.

Marouane Fellaini didn’t take part in the session, with HLN explaining the Manchester United player is suffering from a groin issue.

The midfielder ‘prefers to take no risks’, it’s explained, but surely the way to take no risks would be to withdraw from contention for the friendly and return to Manchester United for assessment and treatment on the groin issue he’s struggling with.

Jose Mourinho won’t be thrilled with the situation as he prepares for matches against Chelsea and Juventus over the next week, and Manchester United already have other injury concerns including surrounding Nemanja Matic, who pulled out of international duty for Serbia this month.

The last thing Mourinho will want is for Fellaini to play against the Netherlands in a friendly and make his groin injury worse than it is.
