Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has brushed off concerns regarding the fitness of Thomas Vermaelen and Eden Hazard.
Chelsea winger Hazard limped out of training on Friday while Vermaelen was considered a doubt earlier this week, but Wilmots has said that both players will be available for their Euro 2016 opener with Italy on Monday night.
Wilmots told reporters: "Thomas has done well in training over the last days and is completely ready for the battle. He has no more problems."
On Hazard, he said: "I don't think it is serious, just a knock."
Belgium will also face Sweden and the Republic of Ireland during the group stage of the 24-team tournament.
