Nainggolan and Gillet Belgium recalls

By Football Italia staff

Radja Nainggolan, Dries Mertens and Torino goalkeeper Jean-Francois Gillet have been called up by Belgium.

Coach Marc Wilmots named his squad for the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers against Andorra and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Roma midfielder Nainggolan is picked after venting his frustration at not being included for the 2014 World Cup.

Napoli winger Mertens is a regular, but the real surprise is the call for Torino goalkeeper Gillet.

He has only just returned from a 13-month ban in the match-fixing scandal involving Bari in Serie B.

Gillet played in Toro’s 0-0 Europa League draw with Club Brugge, performing heroics between the sticks.

Belgium squad: Courtois (Chelsea), Mignolet (Liverpool), Gillet (Torino); Alderweireld (Southampton), Ciman (Standard Liege), Denayer (Celtic), Kompany (Man City), Lombaerts (Zenit), Pocognoli (West Brom), Van Damme (Standard Liege), Vertonghen (Tottenham); Chadli (Tottenham), De Bruyne (Wolfsburg), Defour (Anderlecht), Dembele (Tottenham), Fellaini (Man Utd), Nainggolan (Roma), Witsel (Zenit); Ferreira-Carrasco (Monaco), Hazard (Chelsea), Januzaj (Man Utd), Lukaku (Everton), Mertens (Napoli), Origi (Lille)
