Belgium’s second-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has had to pull out of the remainder of Euro 2020 with a knee injury, the Belgian football association announced on Monday.
The Club Brugge ‘keeper suffered the injury during the warm-up before Belgium’s 1-0 last-16 win over Portugal on Sunday.
He will be replaced by Blackburn Rovers stopper Thomas Kaminski in the squad.
The 28-year-old Kaminski has never played for the senior national side.
It is another blow for Belgium, who face Italy in the quarter-finals on Friday in Munich, with star players Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne undergoing scans on Monday to diagnose the extent of their injuries suffered against Portugal.
