Kompany is back after being sent off against Israel in March, as are Januzaj, who has shown improved form at Manchester United, and Barcelona defender Thomas Vermaelen who spent much of last season recovering from injury.

Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata has received his first call-up since 2011 while Olympique de Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi and Montreal Impact defender Laurent Ciman also return.
