Adnan Januzaj named in preliminary Belgium squad for World Cup

Belgium manager Marc Wilmots reveals that Adnan Januzaj will be in his preliminary squad for the World Cup in Brazil.

Belgium manager Marc Wilmots has confirmed that Adnan Januzaj will be in his preliminary squad for this summer's World Cup.

It was recently revealed that the Manchester United winger had committed his international future to Belgium, despite also being eligible to play for Albania, Turkey, Serbia and Kosovo.

Wilmots has now claimed that the 19-year-old has a good chance of making his final selection for Brazil.

"Adnan has played 27 games for Man United. He has showed his qualities," he told Het Laatste Nieuws.

"The fact I pick him in my initial 27-man squad for Brazil is normal, given his performances but I first want to see how he behaves on the training pitch."

Belgium have been drawn in Group H with Algeria, Russia and South Korea for the 2014 World Cup.
