Belgium coach Marc Wilmots has named a strong 24-man squad for Euro 2016, which is heavy on Premier League representation.
Who’s missed out?
Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany misses out with a thigh injury, and Wilmots has confirmed he will not be part of the staff that travels to France this summer.
There are few surprises, with Everton and Tottenham midfielders Kevin Mirallas and Nacer Chadli named on the stand-by list.
Wildcard move…
Handing Eden Hazard the captaincy is certainly a surprising move given his disappointing season.
His performances have improved in recent weeks, but for much of the season Chelsea's former Player of the Year resembled a disinterested bystander.
Full squad
Goalkeepers: Courtois, Gillet, Mignolet
Defenders: Alderweireld, Boyata, Denayer, Engels, Lombaerts, J. Lukaku, Meunier, Vermaelen, Vertonghen
Midfielders: Dembélé, Fellaini, Nainggolan, Witsel, Carrasco, De Bruyne, E. Hazard, Mertens
Forwards: Batshuayi, Benteke, R. Lukaku, Origi
Stand-by list: Chadli, Ciman, De Bock, G. Gillet, T. Hazard, Mirallas, Sels
