Friday, 30
October 2020 - Belgium's Football Association have announced that there
next three home matches, all next month, have moved from the King Baudouin
Stadium to the King Power at Den Dreef Stadium in Leuven. It comes 'as a
consequence of the Covid-19 related curfew in Brussels, which starts at 10pm
local time. With a match kicking off at 8.45 this would be impossible to
meet. Therefore the FA opted for Leuven which also hosts Belgium's U21 and
women's internationals. In Flanders curfew starts at midnight to 5am.'
Friday, 6 November 2020 - Roberto Martinez
announces his squad for Belgium's final matches of 2020. After a friendly match
with Switzerland, Belgium will face England and Denmark in their final Nations
League matches.
Monday, 9 November 2020 -
As the the squad gathers together, three players are sent back to their
clubs because of injuries. Alexis Saelemaekers, Leandro Trossard and Hendrik Van
Combrugge. As with last month's squad, Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Thomas
Kaminski, has been drafted into the squad as cover. Reim's right-back Thomas
Foket has also been drafted in the squad.
Tuesday, 10 November 2020 - Anderlecht's Hannes Delcroix has joined up
with the squad. He will return to the under-21s following the match against
Switzerland. Later in the day, it was revealed that Thomas Kaminski had
tested positive following a Covid-19 test. He left the squad and returned home
to isolate.
Wednesday, 11
November 2020 - Mechelen's young uncapped goalkeeper Gatëan Coucke, has
