Soccer-Belgium without seven players for World Cup trip to Prague


BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium must do without seven squad members for their trip to Prague to play the Czech Republic on Saturday in World Cup qualification.

The team’s five Bundesliga-based players will not travel for the Group E game because of quarantine restrictions on German residents travelling to the Czech Republic and the squad have been further hampered by injuries to Yannick Carrasco and Thomas Vermaelen, coach Roberto Martinez said on Friday.
