Belgium manager Marc Wilmots has ruled captain Vincent Kompany out of Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier with Wales in Brussels.
Kompany missed Manchester City's 2-2 draw with Queens Park Rangers on Saturday as fears grew over his fitness for his country's upcoming internationals.
The 28-year-old defender subsequently sat out tonight's 3-1 friendly win over Iceland, and Wilmots confirmed that he will also be without his skipper for the visit of Chris Coleman's side.
"I received a call from Vincent earlier," he told RTBF. "He is out for Manchester City for 10 to 12 days, so is unavailable for Sunday. It's a shame but there is no problem, there are only solutions."
Wilmot's side, who have played one game fewer than Group B leaders Wales, sit three points adrift of their Welsh counterparts in third after two matches.
