Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has equalled Belgium's appearance record after winning his 96th cap for his nation on Saturday.
The centre-back, still just 30, started Belgium's World Cup qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo, which was his 96th appearance for the Red Devils - level with Jan Ceulemans, who set the current cap record in 1991.
Vertonghen, who made his debut for Belgium in the 2-1 defeat at home to Portugal in 2007, has the chance to become his nation's most capped player when Roberto Martinez's side host Cyprus on Tuesday.
Such is his importance to Belgium that Martinez recently praised Vertonghen's leadership quality and labelled the defender as "sensational".
Martinez told Sky Sports ahead of the game against Bosnia-Herzegovina: "There's been a lot of talk about this golden generation, but it's important we can have leadership and personality creating a team.
"I think that's where Jan is essential. He's a leader, he's a really experienced head and that's important. We've got a few of those and they're going to guide the younger talent.
"To get 95 caps at this stage of his career is a sensational achievement. That just shows you the professionalism that he has."
Belgium have already qualified for the World Cup in Russia - becoming the first European side to do so following their 2-1 win against Greece in September - and are assured of winning Group H.
