Hazard wins 100th Belgium cap

Eden Hazard is set to claim his 100th Belgium cap after being named in the starting XI to face Cyprus in Sunday's Euro 2020 qualifier.

He becomes only the third player to make a century of appearances for the Red Devils behind Jan Vertonghen (112) and Axel Witsel (101).

The Chelsea star first played for his country in November 2008 after breaking on to the scene as a highly rated teenager with Lille.

He swiftly became a fixture in the senior squad despite his tender age and was a leading member of Belgium's so-called 'golden generation', playing a key role in ending their absence from the World Cup and European Championships.
