The midfielder has suffered a hamstring injury, which ruled him out of last night's Nations League defeat to Israel.

Before the tie, Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco explained Lavia's absence.

"I think Romeo Lavia has a hamstring problem," he told RTL Sports. "It was bothering him this morning and we didn't want to risk him."
