Roberto Martinez has named Belgium’s final shortlisted squad for the postponed Euro 2020 that will kick off from June 11th with Eden Hazard joining Romelu Lukaku and co in the 26 man squad. The Belgium Red Devils have been placed in Group B for the tournament alongside Russia, Denmark and Finland.

With the postponed Euro 2020 approaching fast around the corner, it has seen many international coaches fly around the world in an attempt to get their squads named before the deadline. The tournament kicks off from June 11th which has seen UEFA hand the coaches a deadline of May 25th to name their final squads with the number increased from 23 to 26. That is in order to accommodate what has been a tough and tiring season for many players across Europe
