Marc Wilmots includes Man Utd's Adnan Januzaj in Belgian 2014 FIFA World Cup squad

Casteels sustained a fractured tibia but could be fit for the June 12-July 13 tournament in Brazil, with Anderlecht's Silvio Proto lined up as the number three goalkeeper should the former not make it.

Uncapped Lille striker Divock Origi, 19, is the surprise call-up by Wilmots, who said the teenager would be best to replace the injured Christian Benteke, while Manchester United's Januzaj is also included.

The most notable absentees are Bruges' Timmy Simons and Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, although the latter is included on a six-strong stand-by list.

Belgium have been drawn in Group H along with Algeria, Russia and South Korea, and kick off their World Cup campaign in Belo Horizonte on June 17 against the north Africans.
