TOULOUSE, France (Reuters) - Belgium coach Marc Wilmots made one change for his side's Euro 2016 last-16 clash against Hungary on Sunday with Dries Mertens replacing Yannick Carrasco.

Mertens makes his first start of the tournament after coming on as a substitute in all three of Belgium's group matches and will feature on the right flank instead of the disappointing Carrasco, completing a fearsome attacking unit containing Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku.
