INJURY: Premier League duo Jan Vertonghen and Eden Hazard
But the Chelsea forward is expected to return to training today after Belgium boss Marc Wilmots described his problem as 'just a knock.'
Hazard, who will captain Belgium at Euro 2016, left the pitch after 50 minutes after having his foot stood on during a practice match.
"I don't think it is serious, just a knock," Wilmots told reporters after the match between the expected starting XI and the reserves.
Wilmots said all players were fit, including Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen, who had been doubtful earlier in the week.
Wilmots added: "Thomas has done well in training over the last days and is completely ready for the battle. He has no more problems."
Belgium begin their Euro 2016 campaign against Antonio Conte's Italy in Lyon on Monday night (8pm).
