Belgium's Romelu Lukaku could miss his team's final Group G clash with
England, after coach Roberto Martinez said on Wednesday that the match in
Kaliningrad was "probably one day too early" for the striker.
Lukaku has missed training this week after picking up an ankle injury in
Belgium's 5-2 victory over Tunisia last Saturday, and he has since had scans
to discover the extent of the injury.
Speaking in his prematch news conference on Wednesday, Martinez said the
results from the scans had been positive for the long term, but he fears
Belgium's all-time top goal scorer might have to sit out the England
encounter.
"From the scan, there was no further damage, but it is still uncomfortable,"
Martinez said. "I don't think he will be training today, and we will make a
final assessment tonight.
"At the moment, he is still in the recovery phase and had a difficult knock
against Tunisia, but probably tomorrow is one day too early. I don't think it
is going to take any longer than that."
Martinez also said that his team would be looking to perform well against
Gareth Southgate's squad in their group-stage finale, but that winning the
match was not the goal on Thursday.

重點大概是Lukaku沒能及時傷勢趕上今天這場比英大戰,因在上一場對上突尼西亞
的比賽中傷了腳踝,傷勢的問題也錯過了訓練(應該是這個意思吧??)
這場他可能要坐在場邊看球了
主帥提到:從掃描看來,並沒有很嚴重的傷,但還是會不舒服,但我認為他沒辦法
參與賽前訓練,但我們今晚會做最後的決定
"The priority is not to win," Martinez said. "The reality is we put ourselves
in this situation we wanted to qualify, and we have done that.
"There are players with yellow cards, and I don't think it would be
professional for us to put those players in a risk to miss the knockout phase.
"It is very important for us to protect and give every player the best
possible programme to be in the best condition in the knockout game."
Martinez had earlier suggested he was prepared to make wholesale changes to
his side and at the very least was expected to rest defender Jan Vertonghen,
winger Thomas Meunier and midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who have all picked up
a yellow card.
A second yellow would mean they would be suspended for the round-of-16 game.
Martinez did reveal that goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois would play against
England. The rest would be decided three hours before the whistle.
"I don't think changing the goalkeeper is an option," Martinez explained.
"Thibaut Courtois has been at a very good level, and I think it is positive
for him to carry on playing, so I can guarantee you he will start tomorrow."
While Martinez preferred to keep his cards close to his chest, the Belgium
coach maintained his full confidence in every player on his bench, adding
that each deserved an opportunity.
"I believe in every player on this squad, so it would be quite stupid for me
not to believe in these players for tomorrow," Martinez declared.
"They have earned the right to start in a World Cup, and I believe we are
going to be as good as the contribution of the 23 players, so tomorrow is a
good opportunity for us as a team."
Both Belgium and England have already qualified for the last 16, with the
winner to top the group. A draw would mean the order of their finish would be
decided by the fair play table
