The hosts will have to draw inspiration from alternative sources in Brussels with Hazard missing, giving Greece a slender chance of success with the midfielder's absence.

Hazard did not make the squad for the match and will also be missing for the forthcoming friendly with Russia on Tuesday, per Lustig.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany's injury problems continue, forcing him out of coach Roberto Martinez's plans, but Roma star Radja Nainggolan is back in the Red Devils fold—according to Harry West of Goal.

Nainggolan has struggled to fight his way back into the squad after missing World Cup qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Gibraltar due to injury in October, but the manager has once again included his services.

Martinez highlighted the absence of Kompany and his commitment to the cause, per West:

"

We all know how important Vincent Kompany is for the Red Devils and how important he's going to be for the future.

He wants to come even with one leg, that is his desire and commitment, but it's important that we protect him and we get the benefit from it.

It is important we give him a bit of space and we allow him to get to match fitness. We want Vincent to be fully fit.

"

Belgium shared their squad details via their official Twitter feed before Hazard pulled out:

Greece arrive in fine fettle after a tremendous start to their campaign, winning three of their opening four games to put pressure on the Belgians.

Manager Michael Skibbe's team have been in prolific form in front of goal, scoring nine times in their four qualification games.

However, this is a reflection of the poor teams in the group, with Belgium scoring 21 goals in the same number of fixtures.

Even with Hazard unfit, this should be a straightforward encounter for Martinez's men.

Belgium have developed into one of the elite nations in world football, and with Romelu Lukaku in exceptional form for Everton in the Premier League, they have sufficient firepower in their ranks to put Greece to the sword.
