Sels called up by Belgium
Written by Dan King
Matz Sels has been named in the latest Belgium squad.
The 25-year-old is one of four goalkeepers in Roberto Martinez's group for a World Cup qualifier against Greece and a friendly in Russia later this month.
Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois, Liverpool's Simon Mignolet and Wolfsburg's Koen Casteels are the others vying for the number one jersey for the two games.
Sels, a summer signing from Gent, has yet to make his full international bow but has previously represented his country at under-21 and youth level.
He has fallen behind Karl Darlow and Rob Elliot in the pecking order at St. James' Park, but has kept two clean sheets in United's last three under-23 matches.
Meanwhile, Florian Thauvin - currently on loan with Marseille - has been named in the France squad for the first time. Les Bleus face Luxembourg in a qualifier, then meet Spain in a friendly.
But Paul Dummett is not in Chris Coleman's latest Wales squad; the left-back has been playing through the pain barrier due to a heel injury and will be given the opportunity to rest after Newcastle's game against Birmingham City.
