There has been one very surprising selection which has been made by Marc Wilmots with young 19 year-old forward Divock Origi gaining a squad birth after a solid season in Ligue One with Lille who comes in for the injured Christian Benteke.
Wilmots has also chosen to leave Radja Nainggolan and Thorgan Hazard out of the squad but have been picked as reserves so there is a slim chance they could have a role to play come June and July.
