Belgium defender Nico Van Kerckhoven is
winning his battle to be fit for his side's crunch Group H clash with Russia.
The Red Devils need to dispose of the Russians to make it to the second round
while their opponents know a just a point will see them through.
The Schalke left-back has missed the first two games of the tournament with a
muscle strain but is expected to answer coach Robert Waseige's rallying call.
Van Kerckhoven will replace Peter Van der Heyden in the Belgian defence.
