Belgium have scored more goals off the bench than any other side at this World Cup and Marc Wilmots said that’s no coincidence.

The Red Devils will face the USA in the Round of 16 on Tuesday, kicking off at 21.00 UK time (20.00 GMT).

“I have 23 players. It would be stupid on my part not to use them if they are the right ones to select for a particular opponent,” Wilmots told FIFA.

“I have 23 players. It would be stupid on my part not to use them if they are the right ones to select for a particular opponent,” Wilmots told FIFA.

“My starting XI is never the same, because the adversary is never the same sort of team that we faced in the previous match either.

“A lot of matches are decided in the final quarter of an hour, but there is often little point in sending a player on in the final few minutes because he doesn’t have the time to get into the rhythm of the game.

“With an hour gone of the match a new player can bring freshness when the opponents are beginning to tire. Also the substitute has the time to slot into the game.”
