FIFA erase Adnan Januzaj's international debut

Adnan Januzaj's international debut for Belgium against Luxembourg is not recognised by FIFA because head coach Marc Wilmots made too many substitutions.

Adnan Januzaj's international debut for Belgium has been deemed invalid by FIFA.

The Manchester United winger, who has been included in the Belgian squad for this summer's World Cup, made his bow for the Rode Duivels during their 5-1 victory over Luxembourg late last month.

However, head coach Marc Wilmots made seven substitutions over the course of the 90 minutes, with managers only permitted to make six alterations in international friendlies.

As a result, the game's governing body have erased the encounter from record, meaning that the 19-year-old is still to make his debut for the Belgians.

Also, Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has had the hat-trick that he scored during the match erased.
