Belgium coach Marc Wilmots hopes Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany will make tomorrow's World Cup clash.
The Red Devils take on Russia in their second group stage clash on Sunday knowing that a win will all but confirm qualification for the second round.
Wilmots has confirmed that he hopes that Vincent will return to training on Saturday.
"Vincent felt something in the final few minutes and was not able to sprint 100 per cent," said Wilmots.
"He hoped that resting it overnight would resolve the problem, but it wasn't the case and on Wednesday morning he still had pain in the left groin.
"We decided he would work alone from the rest of the squad for two days with the physiotherapist Lieven Maesschalk and the medical staff. All being well, he will be back training with the rest of the squad on Saturday."
