In the starting lineup of the Belgian national team in this match, coach Robero Martinez arranged Fellaini to play as a central midfielder alongside Kevin De Bruyne in a 3-4-3 formation. However, the Man United midfielder had to end the match in an unwanted way.
He was taken off in the 30th minute of the game with a knee ligament injury after a collision with an opposing player. The person who replaced Fellaini at that time was Leander Dendocker.
Speaking after the match, coach Roberto Marinez said: "We are worried about the case of Fellaini. We are afraid that there is damage to the ligament.
This is not good news for Man United as they are also suffering from other injuries in the central midfield position. Paul Pogba has been out for a long time after the UEFA Champions League match against Basel while Michael Carrick has not played for a few weeks now.
After finishing the training session for the national teams, Man United will have to face an uncomfortable schedule. Next weekend, they will visit Liverpool's Anfield in round 8 of the Premier League.
After round 9 only meeting Huddersfield Town, in rounds 10 and 11, Man United will face Tottenham (home) and Chelsea (away). In between these matches, the "Red Devils" have 2 more matches against Benfica in Group A of the UEFA Champions League this season.
Before that, Fellaini was in good form for Man United. In round 7 of the Premier League, this midfielder scored a double against Crystal Palace, helping Man United win 4-0 overall.
He received compliments from coach Mourinho after the match: "He is a warrior. I am really satisfied that I have helped him reach this level and change the awareness of the fans. I am extremely happy with Fellaini.
The clash between Bosnia & Herzegovina and Belgium ended with a 4-3 victory for Fellaini's team. The goalscorers for the Belgian national team were Meunier (4), Batshuayi (59), Vertonghen (68) and Carrasco (83). Meanwhile, Medunjanin (30), Visca (39%) and Dumic (82%) scored for the home team.
