Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has been named in Belgium's squad for their upcoming World Cup qualifying fixtures, despite not featuring for his club side this month.
The 31-year-old has been nursing a calf injury picked up on international duty in August, ruling him out of the Citizens' last six fixtures in all competitions.
Kompany has been closing in on a return over the past week, however, and after taking part in full training since Monday he has been given the nod to feature for Belgium against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus.
There is no place in the squad for Christian Benteke and Mousa Dembele due to a knee and foot injury respectively, but fellow Premier League players Marouane Fellaini and Romelu Lukaku are both included.
The Red Devils are already assured of top spot in Group H ahead of their final batch of qualifiers next week.
