With the second round just one victory away, Belgium are sweating on the fitness of captain and defender Vincent Kompany ahead of their World Cup game against Russia.

After wearing down Algeria's defense before coming from behind to win, Belgium could well face a similar battle of attrition against Russia at Rio's Maracana stadium.

In defense, Wilmots has always relied on Kompany to keep the way to goal nearly impregnable. To lose the Manchester City defender, who is nursing a groin strain, would be a serious blow.
