Romelu Lukaku to miss Belgium qualifiers

Romelu Lukaku has been ruled out of Belgium's upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against Cyprus and Israel.

The striker was forced off with a hamstring problem during Everton's 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League on Sunday.

Despite joining up with his international teammates, Belgium boss Marc Wilmots has confirmed that the 21-year-old will not be taking part in their games over the next week.

The Belgians currently sit in fourth place in the Group B table following one win and two draws from their opening three matches.

Lukaku has scored eight goals in 35 appearances for his country.
