Belgium Squad Changes

A couple of updates on the team being sent to Finland. Firstly, Kevin Mirallas, Jonathan Legear and Thomas Buffel are out with injuries. Striker Bjorn Vleminckx of NEC Nijmegen has been called up to replace Mirallas, though no replacements will be taken up into the selection for the other two absentees. Georges Leekens has also indicated to the Belgian media that Romelu Lukaku will not start against Finland.
This may cause the match to be less informative than hoped, in terms of learning what combinations work for the Germany match. Still, some players like Kevin De Bruyne and Laurent Ciman will want to grab their chance to impress Leekens and foreign scouts.
The game is at 6:00 pm Brussels time and as far as I can tell, it won't be televised on Flemish television, though it will be on RTBF 2. So let's get excited (or at least feign it).
