Belgium erupted into a crisis at the back ahead of the Europa League, beating Luxembourg 3-0 in a warm-up match, after which Menya was injured after only 16 minutes of play. The Belgian FA confirmed that the 32-year-old will not travel to Germany with the Army on Wednesday (12), but will remain in Belgium for tests. Taidis leader Menya's injury is not a good one.
Tedisco said, "Menya is disappointed, we are all disappointed. We don't know the extent of the injury at home, but it's serious. He feels pain in his knee. Menya has always been an optimistic person and very professional, hoping for a good result, but the real department is not too optimistic right now."
The bigger issue is that Belgium chose to go with two injured keepers in Wittenham and Efafiadi, and Tedisco said they would keep them even if they were rushed for the first group game. Prior to the first leg, UEFA allowed teams to. 'substitutions due to injury', so Belgium have decided to replace Menia as Mimi Man before next Tuesday (18) against Slovakia.
