- 9:47 pm. Quiz night. To reinforce the group atmosphere, the day at the Devils ended with a quiz. Jan Vertonghen, Yannick Carrasco, Dries Mertens and Hans Vanaken (team name: The Kingers) proved to be the best quizzers. The Believers (the composition of this team will probably remain a secret) finished last. Faith was not strong enough. Hopefully better Thursday. .

- 2:42 PM. De Bruyne and Hazard train separately. No group training for Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard. They worked individually, under the watchful eye of physiotherapist Lieven Maesschalck. Romelu Lukaku did train with the group, where the atmosphere – certainly in the first fifteen minutes, where the press was welcome – despite the rumors seems to be the best. There is cuddling (a form of play) and a burst of laughter regularly rises. Before training, national coach Roberto Martinez spoke to his boys. .
