Thibaut Courtois was given permission to miss Belgium's friendly against Germany due to Real Madrid's busy upcoming schedule, although reports in Spain claim the goalkeeper could now be sidelined for a month with an adductor injury.
All eyes will be on whether Erling Haaland is fit to line up for Manchester City against Liverpool after he withdrew from the Norway squad - missing the defeat to Spain as well as the fixture with Georgia.
The player's father, Alfie, told Norway's TV 2 Sport: "Manchester City has a partnership with a hospital in Barcelona so he has been there for further checks and treatment.
"Now he has been [in Marbella] for a couple of days with the physio from the club. Firstly, I'm not a doctor and secondly, I think it's 'touch and go', yes. You can't just go two weeks without training and then jump right into a fight. There must be a progression there.
"They can gamble on it, but if he doesn't get proper training with the team, then he won't play. It is about how he responds to treatment in the next few days. He needs a lot of care."
