The Belgium coach says that the forward is still not available

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez confirmed on Saturday that Eden Hazard is still testing positive for coronavirus and cannot face England.

"Regarding the Hazard situation we're working with the medical department of his club (Real Madrid), and he's not ready yet, he can't travel. He's still positive so he won't be available on Sunday."

Belgium are top of their Nations League group with nine points and host England on Sunday, who have seven. 

"The game at Wembley was very even, we could have improved some things in the second half," said Martinez. "Tomorrow we'll have another chance to expand on the good 45 minutes, the fist half, and do well for the 90."
