Belgium trio miss training ahead of Iran clash

Belgium on Sunday, and they have injury doubts

Iran's second World Cup group match is set for Sunday evening against Belgium (2). Three key Belgian names, Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard, and Charles De Ketelaere, skipped training and stayed in the gym as a precaution (2). No confirmation yet on whether any of them will miss the match, but it is worth watching. Belgium are managing workloads carefully after their opener.
