Belgium's star player Kevin de Bruyne, 26, should be on show.

The Manchester City midfielder has played 59 internationals with 14 goals since 2010.

He leads a star-studded line-up that includes Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois and midfield teammate Eden Hazard, and Manchester United hitman Romelu Lukaku.

Another striker, Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi, has been successful on loan at Borussia Dortmund, scoring two goals in his first game and then five more before getting injured.
