Food poisoning puts Belarus-Luxembourg qualifier in doubt

Some bad bolognese sauce has put the Euro 2016 qualifier between Belarus and Luxembourg in doubt.

Tuesday's Euro 2016 qualifier between Belarus and Luxembourg at the Borisov Arena is in jeopardy after much of the visitors' squad was struck down by food poisoning.

Both sides stand no chance of qualifying for the finals in France next year, but Luxembourg's campaign has taken a further turn for the worse after 16 players on the 20-man squad fell ill.

Luxembourg Football Federation (FLF) doctor Robert Huberty suspects a bolognese sauce served to the players at their hotel in Minsk on Sunday may be the cause of the issue.
