However, the Foxes' creative midfielder was not able to make the starting line up, as a result of a kick to the ankle in a training session a day prior to the game.

According to reports in Belgium, via Leicestershire Live, coach Roberto Martinez was being cautious with Tielemens, and his injury is not thought to be serious.

He may even play against the Czech Republic in their second World Cup Qualifier of this international break on Sunday.
