Vincent Kompany has been named in Belgium's squad despite not playing for Manchester City since injuring his calf while on international duty earlier this month.

Kompany, who has missed City's last six fixtures, returned to training on Monday and is included along with Manchester United duo Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku.

However, Christian Benteke and Moussa Dembele are not named in the squad, due to knee and foot injuries respectively.

Belgium, who have already qualified for the 2018 World Cup, face Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cyprus in their final two qualifiers, with both games live on Sky Sports.
