BRUSSELS (Reuters) -Belgium coach Rudi Garcia continued his efforts to freshen up the squad with three newcomers named on Friday for World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein next week.

Versatile midfielder Charles Vanhoutte has been rewarded for his form in helping Union St Gilloise win the Belgian title last season and replaces the injured Amadou Onana, while Club Brugge fullback Joaquin Seys gets another chance after injury ruled him out of the first call-up in June.
