Moussa Dembélé, the Belgian midfielder of Malian origin, was forced to leave the training session on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. The incident occurred, and he received immediate treatment on the sidelines of the pitch, ultimately limping off.
Addressing the situation on Twitter, federal coach Marc Wilmots stated, “Moussa twisted his ankle during training. We’re waiting to see what happens tomorrow,” accompanying the message with a photo of Dembélé undergoing treatment.
Belgium is set to travel to Zagreb for a crucial match against Croatia on Friday, followed by a meeting with Wales on Tuesday. The Red Devils only need one point in these upcoming matches to secure qualification for the World Cup, a feat they have been pursuing since 2002. The extent of Dembélé’s injury will likely play a role in determining his availability for these crucial fixtures.
