Kaminski is the second Belgium international after Eden Hazard to be ruled out of its friendly against Switzerland due to a positive COVID-19 test

Belgium goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski has left the national squad ahead of a friendly game against Switzerland after testing positive for COVID-19.

Kaminski had been called up this week by Belgium coach Roberto Martinez as a late replacement for Hendrik Van Crombrugge.

Kaminski plays for Blackburn in England's second division. He is the second Belgium international ruled out of the match because of the coronavirus after Eden Hazard. The Real Madrid forward has been quarantined in Spain.

Belgium will play England and Denmark in the Nations League after the friendly against Switzerland.
