NO REST FOR VAN DIJK
No resting time for Virgil van Dijk though as Louis van Gaal names a strong Netherlands team. He is partnered in the heart of defence by Nathan Ake rather than Matthijs de Ligt, who is on the bench, while Jasper Cilleessen is given the gloves ahead of Mark Flekken.
Manchester United target Frenkie de Jong features in midfield. His Barcelona team mate Memphis Depay leads the front line.

LUKAKU STARTS
After picking up a knock in training, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez will be delighted that Romelu Lukaku starts in attack.
He is flanked by Hans Vanaken and skipper Eden Hazard. Kevin De Bryune is in midfield.
With Thibaut Courtois out with a groin injury after winning the Champions League with Real Madrid, Simon Mignolet starts in goal.
