Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj will feature in a preliminary Belgium squad for World Cup warm-ups against
Luxembourg and Sweden.
Belgium coach Marc Wilmots was made aware of the 19-year-old's decision to commit for the country last week, but insisted he had given no guarantees that the player would be included in his final 23-man squad for Brazil.
Wilmots admitted he had been impressed with the teenager's versatility, hinting he could be an option at centre forward, which could prove useful given the
unavailability of Aston Villa forward
Christian Benteke due to injury.
Belgium face Luxembourg at home in Genk on May 26 and Sweden in Stockholm on June 1.
"I first want to see how he is in training. I'll pick 26 or 27 players and say there's only one thing that counts - the pitch. Come on guys, show me what you can do,"
Wilmots said.
"That I'll take him on the camp is certain. I think that's normal given his performances in the last year."
Each country must submit a list of up to 30 players of potential squad members by May 13, with the final 23 names sent to FIFA by June 2.
Born in Belgium to ethnic Albanian parents from Kosovo, Januzaj was eligible to play for a number of countries including Belgium, England, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia
and Turkey.
He announced his potential with two fine goals in his first Premier League start at Sunderland and will be hoping to make the plane to Brazil with Belgium, who are
playing in their first World Cup in 12 years.
Wilmots' highly-fancied team face Algeria, Russia and South Korea in the World Cup group phase.
