The London Arsenal and Belgian national team defender recently suffered a groin injury.
"This injury was somewhat unexpected, but I will try to recover before this match. Of course, these are just friendly matches, and nothing depends on them, but this match is very important to me," the footballer told Sky Sports.
The 26-year-old Belgian believes that playing in the English Premier League will be a big plus in the future match against the English.
"I think everyone has heard about their playing style, which I also know very well, so I am really looking forward to this meeting and hope to recover from the injury," Vermaelen concluded.
Just a reminder that England and Belgium will meet in a friendly match on Saturday at 19:15 Lithuanian time.
