It's a puzzle, but a nice problem to have. ​I can't give you an answer yet as to who will ​play," he said.Belgium, however, will be without record goalscorer Romelu Lukaku."Romelu is having ‌some ⁠problems with his hip. He was already feeling it yesterday. He is still able to train, but we have mutually decided not to include him in the line-up," added the coach."He is an ​important player for ​us, both on ⁠and off the pitch. He's only started one match so far, but he has already made ​an important contribution, including as a substitute."So I hope ​I ⁠can get him fit again in time for the match against Italy," Van Bommel said.Belgium are third in Group A1 with six points, ⁠behind leaders ​France on 10 and Italy on ​seven. The top two advance to the quarter-finals in March.France face Italy in Milan ​on Thursday.
