Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has sent an SOS to Liverpool striker Divock Origi.

The Liverpool Echo reports Origi has been handed a last-minute international call-up by Belgium.

With Yannick Carrasco unavailable because of passport issues, Martinez has turned to the Liverpool forward for the Red Devils' Nations League clash with Switzerland.

Origi steps in with Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku ruled out due to injury.

He has made one appearance for Liverpool this season.
