Martinez allays injury fears over Man Utd midfielder Fellaini

Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has allayed fears about the fitness of Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.

The 30-year-old did not feature in Belgium's 1-1 draw with the Netherlands on Tuesday.

"He should be fine, it's just he wasn't 100 per cent," Martinez said.

"He's got an important game at the weekend and this wasn't the game to use players who weren't 100 per cent.

"We expect he should be fine in the next couple of days."
