Belgian Star Midfielder Omitted from National Squad for Upcoming Fixtures #

A key midfielder for Belgium has been left out of the national team’s squad for their upcoming Nations League matches in October.

The player, who features for a prominent English Premier League club, has been sidelined for his team’s last three matches due to a muscular injury. This injury occurred during a Champions League match last month, where he was substituted after appearing to hurt himself during a first-half run following a challenge by the opposing goalkeeper.

Since then, the midfielder has missed two Premier League draws and a Champions League victory for his club. His club manager recently suggested that the player might return before the international break.

The 33-year-old had a challenging previous season, starting only 18 Premier League matches due to a hamstring injury that required surgery and kept him out of action for four months.

His club has upcoming Premier League fixtures, including a home game this weekend and an away match later in October after the international break.

For Belgium, the player will miss two Nations League matches: an away game against Italy and a home fixture against France.

This absence from the national team comes at a crucial time as Belgium prepares for important competitive matches in the Nations League.
