Belgium’s FA ?have confirmed that the pair are injured are unable to take part in either of Belgium’s upcoming European Championship qualifying matches against San Marino and Scotland.

“Legally he can travel with Belgium but at the moment he cannot play,” Zidane told a news conference on Saturday, (via ?The Independent). “He knows that, we do too and I hope he doesn’t play, for the good of everyone, including Belgium.”

Hazard is one of a number of Real Madrid stars who is currently out injured,  but Zidane has insisted that it is merely bad luck.

“Obviously I’m not happy to see my players injured but unfortunately these things happen, they happen in every team, everywhere you look you see there are lots of players with injuries.

“Our physios and doctors and everyone who works with the players are doing everything possible and I hope that everyone can return quickly.”
