Playing Eng very special: Martinez

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said his side had been given a "challenging" draw for the World Cup, but that his squad full of Premier League stars would relish playing England.

The 44-year-old Spaniard, who built his coaching career as manager of Swansea City, Wigan Athletic and Everton in Britain, will be hoping to help Belgium improve on their quarter-final showing from 2014.

Martinez's team will play their final Group G game against England in Kaliningrad on June 28.

"I lived for 21 years in England so it is very special," Martinez told the BBC. "It's the World Cup, we have a challenging draw, lots of travelling. We are looking forward to it."

"We have a really good group of players, 25 players are now in the British game so are very well known," Martinez added. "They have important roles in important teams and they enjoy playing for their country."

Belgium will open their campaign against Panama in Sochi on June 18, before taking on Tunisia on June 23.
