Januzaj in for Belgium

Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj will be included in Belgium’s preliminary World Cup squad, head coach Marc Wilmots has confirmed.

Last week Wilmots revealed Januzaj had pledged his international allegiance to Belgium despite interest from England, Albania, Kosovo, Turkey and Serbia.

Januzaj will have a chance to impress Wilmots at a pre-World Cup training camp next month, although the Belgium coach has warned the teenager he is not guaranteed to make his final 23.

“I have seen him play several times and now I want to see him with the squad,” Wilmots said.

“I will include him in the list of 30 pre-selected players for the World Cup and he will be one of the 26 or 27 players who take part in training in Genk and then in Sweden.

However Wilmots added: “Things were clear between us: he has received no assurance from me of a place in the World Cup squad.”
