Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has been left out of the Belgium squad, as Roberto Martinez feels he “still has to get back to 100 per cent”.
The 28-year-old was a key member of the side at Euro 2016 under Marc Wilmots, but the new Coach has taken a tougher line, banning the Giallorossi man from smoking.
Now the Spaniard has announced his squad for the upcoming games with the Netherlands and Estonia.
