Belgium coach Van Bommel says Lukaku still needs time to regain his match fitness, and also addressed Courtois's absence from the Nations League.

When asked about Lukaku's playing time, Van Bommel said: "He has scored many goals here, but that doesn't mean he'll automatically start. He still needs a bit more time; he's only played limited minutes at Fenerbahçe. He'll come back, I'm not worried. He'll get his chances to play."

Regarding Openda and Courtois, Van Bommel said: "Openda performed well at Olympique Lyonnais, which is why I called him up. Unfortunately, he hasn't been performing well at Juventus; you'd have to ask Juventus what went wrong. I spoke with Courtois and went to Real Madrid to discuss his situation. So we mutually decided not to call him up for the Nations League. This will apply for the entire Nations League campaign, and we'll reassess after that."
