Belgium play Mexico later on Friday followed by a match against Japan on Tuesday.

"Batshuayi is out for the Mexico game and has left the group to recover at Chelsea, because of an injury to his foot," Martinez told reporters.

Martinez also said that Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen is ruled of Friday's friendly due to an ankle injury.
