Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots had this to offer in regard to the health of two of his stars ahead of today's league encounter (via Squawka): "Thibaut [Courtois] undergoes another examination Tuesday morning. We must of course wait and see what the doctors say, but I expect him to play. I've already spoken to Thibaut on Sunday. The collaboration with the medical staff of Chelsea is excellent. An hour after the game, I knew the results of the investigations already. Tests take place on Tuesday in consultation with our doctors, but I get only positive signals. Thibaut even today feels a lot better."
When asked about Eden Hazard, he added: "His toe looks blue, but there is certainly not a fracture. Hopefully Eden may join the group as soon as possible."
