BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium's preparations for next month's European Championship have suffered a blow with the news that midfielder Radja Nainggolan will be sidelined for two weeks due to a small tear in his calf muscle.

The 28-year-old Roma midfielder is central to Belgium coach Marc Wilmots' plans and the layoff will keep him out until their final friendly against Norway in Brussels on June 5.
