Belgium boss Roberto Martinez reveals that Marouane Fellaini has withdrawn from the national team squad due to a calf problem.

Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has revealed that Marouane Fellaini has been forced to withdraw from the national team squad due to a calf problem.

The Manchester United midfielder picked up the injury during his club side's 3-1 win over Swansea City at the weekend, but was named in the Belgium squad for their internationals with Netherlands and Estonia.

However, speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Martinez confirmed the 28-year-old's withdrawal.

"Fellaini picked up an injury against Swansea City and will go back to his club. We have a core of 24 players, which is enough," Martinez told reporters. "Apart from Fellaini, everyone is in order. Mousa Dembele is back but will still be resting against Netherlands. We are counting on him against Estonia."

Fellaini has scored 15 times in 73 appearances for the Belgian national team.
