바카라We're very happy the way that he is progressing. He had a very good session yesterday, not with a group, but is progressing in a steady way," Belgium coach Roberto MartĂnez said Tuesday. "We haven't got a timeline.Â
바카라I wouldn't be able to tell if he's going to be the second game or the third game,바카라 he said. "If I follow the medical advice, at this point it would be the third game. If I follow how the player feels, probably we've got a chance for the second game.바카라
Captain Eden Hazard will start despite seeing diminished playing time at Real Madrid this season. The 31-year-old has made just two starts 바카라 in La Liga on Sept. 11 and in the Champions League on Oct. 11.
바카라It's been a tough situation in terms of the playing minutes," MartĂnez said. 바카라We are a better team when Eden Hazard is in our dressing room, that's for sure."
