Watford defender Christian Kabasele is still in the plans of Belgium manager Roberto Martinez.

Kabasele was not called up to the international squad by his boss for the upcoming set of games.

However, Martinez was quick to stress that Kabasele is still a player who has a future with him and the national team.

"I chose the same central defenders who were in the World Cup squad," he told reporters in Belgium.

"I also know that Kabasele has [made] very good progress. We continue to follow him, but for these matches, the intention was to have the four new guys. Of course, Kabasele comes into consideration for next time."
