The wife of forward Dries Mertens has opened up on an “awkward” Belgium squad get-together event following a heated dressing room bust-up.
Romelu Lukaku reportedly had to separate international teammates Kevin De Bruyne and Jan Vertonghen in the dressing room as cracks began to show within Roberto Martinez’s squad. It follows an underwhelming start to their World Cup campaign and a worrying two-goal group stage defeat against Morocco.
That result followed on from a highly unconvincing opening game victory over Canada, who were largely superior to the third-placed finishers from four years ago. While the Red Devils were among the favourites for that tournament in Russia, their ageing squad has seen their stock fall this time round.
