Team News: Marc Wilmots keeps faith with Divock Origi

Wilmots keeps faith with Origi

Divock Origi will continue to lead the Belgium attack during this afternoon's World Cup quarter-final against Argentina.

Some reports had suggested that Romelu Lukaku was in line for a recall, but head coach Marc Wilmots has kept faith in 19-year-old Origi as his side's lone striker.

Elsewhere, Everton's Kevin Mirallas has come into the side, but there is no room for Steven Defour, despite his return from suspension.

As for the Argentines, Manchester City centre-back Martin Demichelis has been called into the heart of the defence, while Lucas Biglia has replaced Fernando Gago in midfield.

Argentina: Romero; Zabaleta, Demichelis, Garay, Basanta; Biglia, Mascherano; Di Maria, Lavezzi, Messi; Higuain

Belgium: Courtois; Alderweireld, Van Buyten, Kompany, Vertonghen; Witsel, Fellaini; De Bruyne, Mirallas, Hazard; Origi
