Leicester City defender Timothy Castagne will play no further part in Euro 2020 due to an eye injury.

Castagne will miss the rest of Euro 2020 after suffering a double fracture in his eye socket during Belgium's 3-0 win over Russia.

The 25-year-old clashed heads with Daler Kuzyaev in the first half in St Petersburg and was forced from the pitch due to the swelling.

Speaking after the match, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez confirmed Castagne will play no further part in the competition.

"Really bad news, sad to see Timothy Castagne is going to be out of the tournament," Martinez said.

"He's had images taken, he's got a double fracture, and now we'll take the necessary treatment."
