Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke has been called up to the Belgium squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Gibraltar.

The former Liverpool forward has rediscovered his form since moving to Selhurst Park, scoring three goals in his last four league games.

Benteke, 25, has 26 international caps to his name and will hope to add to that on Friday night when Belgium host Bosnia in Brussels. The Red Devils then travel to Faro to face Gibraltar on Monday.

The Eagles’ club-record signing is one of several Palace players selected to represent their counties over the course of the international break.
