Roberto Martinez has announced his Belgium party which includes the likes of Chelsea pair Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard, Spurs' Jan Vertonghen, Manchester United duo Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku.
As well as Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, to name but a few.

Martinez himself reportedly flew to Rome, Italy, to inform Nainggolan of his decision.
