Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has rung the changes for Thursday's World Cup game with Croatia at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.

The Red Devils head into this contest requiring all three points to guarantee their place in the last 16, and Martinez has made some notable judgment calls.

Captain Eden Hazard is one of four players to drop out, the others being Amadou Onana (suspended), Thorgan Hazard and Michy Batshuayi.

Leander Dendoncker, Leandro Trossard, Yannick Carrasco and Dries Mertens have all been handed opportunities, with Kevin De Bruyne playing in a deeper role.

Despite making his return from injury as a substitute last time out, Romelu Lukaku is only named among the replacements.

In sharp contrast, Zlatko Dalic has made no alterations to his Croatia side after the 4-1 triumph over Canada at the weekend.

The 2018 runners-up only require a draw to book their spot in the knockout stages and Marko Livaja keeps his place down the middle of the attack.

Croatia: Livakovic; Juranovic, Lovren, Gvardiol, Sosa; Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic; Kramaric, Livaja, Perisic

Belgium: Courtois; Dendoncker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen; Meunier, De Bruyne, Witsel, Castagne; Trossard, Carrasco; Mertens body check tags ::
