Romelu Lukaku will miss Belgium's World Cup Qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday, although he could still be fit for their final Group H game next week.

The Manchester United forward had been a doubt due to an ankle injury since joining up with the Belgium squad earlier in the week.

He is yet to train with the squad and has not travelled to Sarajevo for the game.

Belgium have already booked their spot at next year's World Cup finals in Russia and will complete their fixtures with a home game against Cyprus next Tuesday.

Manager Roberto Martinez said earlier this week that he did not expect Lukaku to be fit for the Bosnia game but was hopeful he could play in their 10th and final group match.
