Team News: Adnan Januzaj starts for Belgium against South Korea

Januzaj starts for Belgium

South Korea have made two changes from the side that lost 4-2 to Algeria for today's crucial World Cup Group H clash against group leaders Belgium today in Sao Paulo.

Goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryong is dropped from the starting XI in favour of Kim Seung-Gyu, while ex-Arsenal striker Park Chu-young is also omitted in place of Kim Shin-wook.

Meanwhile, Marc Wilmots has handed Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj his first competitive international start, while resting several of the squad's key players, including Axel Witsel, Eden Hazard and Kevin de Bruyne.

The Red Devils have already qualified for the second round of the tournament, while South Korea need to beat tonight's opponents convincingly and hope that Algeria don't beat Russia.

South Korea: S G Kim, S Y Yun, Y G Kim, H M Son, Y Lee, J C Koo, K Y Han, S Y Ki, C Y Lee, S W Kim, J H Hong

Belgium: Courtois, Vertonghen, Fellaini, Mirallas, Mertens, Van Buyten, Defour, Lombaerts, Dembele, Januzaj, Vanden Borre
