Belgium football players defeated Portugal 1:0 last night and qualified for the quarterfinals of the European Championship, but they have many reasons to worry.
The best footballers of the "Devils", Kevin de Bruyne and Eden Hazard, left the game early due to injury. De Bruyne injured his ankle, while Hazard left the game clutching his right thigh.
"It is still too early to predict their condition. Kevin injured his ankle - in the second half he could not play. When it comes to Eden, he suffered a muscle injury, but we have to wait for the diagnosis," Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said last night after the match.
Hazard will undergo an examination today, and his injury was commented on by goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who said that it "doesn't look good".
The public is speculating that the tournament is over for Hazard.
Eden Hazard: "I don't know what I have. We will see tomorrow. We'll see how long I'll be out for. I felt something minor in the hamstrings." Worries that his tournament could be over. #white # EURO2020 pic.twitter.com/Xt00mv7FaZ

Both Hazard and De Bruyne recently recovered from injury, and as the tournament progressed coach Martinez slowly got them into a rhythm.
Belgium will play Italy in the quarter-finals on June XNUMX in Munich.
