Euro 2020 matchday 21: Belgium prepare to tackle Italy

:Headline: Euro 2020 matchday 21: Belgium prepare to tackle Italy:
Two of the tournament favourites will meet in Munich.
Sports Mole

Belgium and Italy will both be hoping for some positive fitness updates as they fine-tune preparations for their Euro 2020 quarter-final showdown.

The Red Devils saw Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard forced off during the last-16 tie with Portugal.

Manchester City playmaker De Bruyne, who is carrying an ankle problem, and Hazard, trying to shake a muscle strain, have each been working on individual recovery plans, but may not be risked.

Italy are expecting to have defender Giorgio Chiellini fit again from the thigh problem which ruled the Juventus man out of the past two matches – just in time to try to shackle the threat of Romelu Lukaku.

Switzerland head to St Petersburg with plenty of self-belief after a dramatic shoot-out win over world champions France, while Spain will be hoping for better luck on their return to Russia having been knocked out of the World Cup by the hosts on penalties three years ago.

England had little time to reflect on Tuesday night's hard-earned victory over Germany as preparations soon turned towards their quarter-final in Rome against Ukraine – who will be missing Artem Besedin after the striker suffered a knee injury in their dramatic extra-time win over Sweden.
