TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard will miss Belgium's clash with Italy in Turin to determine who finishes third in the UEFA Nations League final four tournament on Sunday with "muscle overloads", coach Roberto Martinez said.

Having lost to France in their Nations League semi-final on Thursday, Belgium face European champions Italy in the Juventus Stadium and will have to try to secure third spot without the pair ranked first and second in their all-time goalscoring list.
