BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Injured fullback Thomas Meunier will not travel with Belgium when they leave for the European Championship on Wednesday but will stay behind to continue treatment on a hamstring injury, the Belgian football association said on Sunday.

The right back was injured early in Saturday’s warm-up international against Luxembourg in Brussels and will undergo more tests in the coming days, with the results determining whether he will be fit for the tournament in Germany.
