Roberto Martinez, already with less ammunition than usual for Belgium's 2018 World Cup qualifier against Greece on Saturday, may have lost another of his superstars.

On Friday, Martinez announced Belgium might have to take the pitch without Kevin De Bruyne, as the Belgian midfielder is battling a groin injury.

De Bruyne suffered the injury in training and is "very uncertain" to play, according to Het Laatste Nieuws' Kristof Terreur. Martinez is already without Thomas Meunier for the match against Greece, and Eden Hazard, who was replaced in the Belgian Red Devils' squad by his brother, Thorgan Hazard.

De Bruyne only appeared in two of Belgium's World Cup qualifier in 2016 due to a hamstring injury.
