Youri Tielemans has withdrawn from the Belgian squad after sustaining an injury to his calf during Leicester City's match against Leeds United.

Youri Tielemans has withdrawn himself from the Belgium squad due to the calf injury that he suffered against Leeds United at the weekend.

The Leicester City midfielder was due to meet up with the rest of Roberto Martinez's team ahead of their World Cup 2022 qualifying matches against Estonia and Wales next week.

However, according to Belgian news outlet Het Laatste Nieuws, he has now withdrawn from the squad due to issues with both his calf and ankle.

The report states that Tielemans is set to miss two to three weeks' worth of action, and this means he could be unavailable for the Foxes when they face Chelsea on November 20, as well as the upcoming Europa League tie against Legia Warsaw.

The midfielder suffered the injury on Sunday when Leicester drew 1-1 with Leeds United, as he had to be replaced in the final 15 minutes of the game.
