BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Belgium have split this week’s training into two parts to mitigate for not knowing the identity of their next opponents at Euro 2020, coach Roberto Martinez said on Tuesday.

Belgium confirmed top place in Group B on Monday with a 2-0 win over Finland and next play in the last 16 in Sevilla on Sunday, but they will only discover who they face once the group phase is concluded on Wednesday.
