Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku Out of Belgium Squad, so Coach Calls Up the Brothers

Mark PattersonSep 1, 2014

Belgium have lost Premier League duo Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku to injury ahead of their game against Australia on Thursday—but in what must surely be something of a first, coach Marc Wilmots has replaced both players with their younger brothers.

Thorgan Hazard, 21, plays a role similar to his older brother's and is on loan from Chelsea to Borussia Monchengladbach this season.

Jordan Lukaku, 20, is a defender, making his way in the game with KV Oostende in Belgium.  

Romelu tweeted his delight at the news:

"
