MOSCOW (RUSSIA) – Belgium continues its record-breaking qualifying run to Euro 2020 but loses Mertens due to injury. The Napoli football player was replaced at the 52 ′ Russia-Belgium. Mertens left the field after suffering a hard intervention in the opponent's penalty area. After suffering the blow, Mertens fell badly on the pitch and got injured. The first responses make the Napoli fans breathe a sigh of relief as we only talk about a blow, nothing serious.
Napoli fans who were watching their darling's game began to express their concern about his injury in real time: "Now what do we do? We are already in crisis, we cannot lose even the only player who is playing well, the only one who scores, our Ciro … ".
We are waiting for an official medical bulletin but Mertens would have left the camp as a precaution since Belgium had already won the Euro 2020 qualification. Belgium won the same number of matches as Italy but have a better goal difference, so is the strongest team in these Euro 2020 qualifiers. Against Russia, Belgium won 4 to 1 thanks to goals from Romelu Lukaku, Thorgan Harzard and Eden Hazard (double).
