Team News: Thibaut Courtois starts for Belgium following concussion controversy

Courtois handed Belgium start

Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois will start in goal for Belgium in tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier against Andorra after recently being hospitalised with concussion.

The 22-year-old was knocked out briefly during Chelsea's 2-0 win over Arsenal in the Premier League weekend, but has been declared fit for Belgium manager Marc Wilmots.

Vincent Kompany will guide the team from defence, while Tottenham Hotspur's Jan Vertonghen has also been handed a starting spot at the back.

Spurs' Nacer Chadli has joined the attack, while Lille's Divock Origi, who will join Liverpool in the summer, spearheads the attack.

Belgium: Courtois; Alderweireld, Kompany, Lombaerts, Vertonghen; Nainggolan, Defour, De Bruyne, Mertens, Chadli; Origi

Andorra: Ferran Pol; Emili Garcia, Ildefons Lima, M. San Nicolas, Maneiro; Rubio, Vales, M. Vieira, Riera; Ayala, Martinez
