Belgium vs. Finland: Hazard backs squad to cope without Kompany

Belgium faces Finland in its penultimate pre-Euro 2016 friendly, and Eden Hazard insists the team can manage without captain Vincent Kompany.

Stand-in captain Eden Hazard is adamant Belgium can cope without Vincent Kompany at Euro 2016 ahead of its friendly with Finland on Wednesday.

The clash at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels is Belgium's penultimate match before the tournament, where skipper Hazard will hope for better fortune following a tough club season with Chelsea.

The 2014-15 PFA Player of the Year managed only six goals as his Chelsea team meekly surrendered the Premier League title, limping to a 10th place finish.
