Belgium's injury woes have mounted ahead of today's play-off against the Czech Republic, with Celtic defender Joos Valgaeren the latest to be ruled out with a knee injury.
Coach Robert Waseige picked a 20-man squad following injuries to captain Marc Wilmots and striker Emile Mpenza, who will miss the home game and the second leg in Prague next Wednesday.
Belgium are looking to qualify for their sixth World Cup in a row.
Czech coach Jozef Chovanec has problems with suspensions. Towering striker Jan Koller is suspended for both games, while playmaker Tomas Rosicky is out today for yellow card violations.
Unlike Belgium, there are no serious injury worries in the Czech team.
