Also among the substitutes are former Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson, called up as a replacement for the injured Frank Lampard, and Teessider Stewart Downing.
Belgium, meanwhile, have named an exciting team which includes Chelsea new-boy Eden Hazard and defender Jan Vertonghen, who is expected to join Tottenham despite interest this week from Newcastle.
