Belgium will be short on ammunition Saturday.

After Roberto Martinez revealed Kevin De Bruyne might not play because of a groin injury, the Belgian midfielder was nowhere to be found on Belgium's team sheet for its 2018 World Cup qualifier against Greece.

According to Het Laatste Nieuws' Kristof Terreur, De Bruyne suffered the injury in training. Belgium is also without Thomas Meunier and Eden Hazard, who was replaced in the squad by his brother, Thorgan Hazard.

The clash between Belgium and Greece at King Badouin Stadium will mark the third 2018 World Cup qualifier in which De Bruyne doesn't play. He missed two games in 2016 due to a hamstring injury.
