Cyprus vs. Belgium: Benteke boost for Wilmots' men

Boosted by an impressive 3-1 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, Belgium will be confident of all but securing Euro 2016 qualification in Cyprus.

Belgium could welcome Christian Benteke back for Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier with Cyprus in Nicosia.

The Liverpool striker missed his country's 3-1 victory over Group B rivals Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday due to a thigh injury he sustained while on club duty against West Ham last weekend.

But the problem is reportedly only a minor one and the 24–year-old may well replace Romelu Lukaku in the starting XI after the Everton forward failed to impress against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
