OTHER Roberto Martinez has just announced his selection for the World Cup in Qatar. Two Anderlecht players are included: Jan Vertonghen and Zeno Debast. For Vertonghen it will be his fifth major tournament, for Debast his first.


Debast made his debut for the Red Devils in September. At the time, national coach Martinez praised his performance. His selection for the World Cup is therefore no surprise. Especially since Dedryck Boyata is only a substitute at Club Brugge and Jason Denayer has only had a club since a few weeks, in a very weak league moreover.

With Wout Faes, Leander Dendoncker, Youri Tielemans, Jérémy Doku and Romelu Lukaku, there are still five former Anderlecht players in the selection. Alexis Saelemaekers and Dodi Lukebakio are among the four players on standby in case anyone else drops out.

Belgian World Cup selection:

Goalkeepers: Casteels, Courtois, Mignolet.

Defenders: Alderweireld, Debast, Dendoncker, Faes, Theate, Vertonghen

Wingbacks: Castagne, Meunier, Carrasco, T. Hazard

Central midfielders: De Bruyne, Onana, Tielemans, Vanaken, Witsel

Wingers: E. Hazard, Trossard, De Ketelaere, Doku, Mertens

Strikers: Lukaku, Batshuayi, Openda,
