The Manchester City midfielder is just six caps away from 100 for Belgium and is hoping to reach the milestone of a century in Qatar this winter.
The 31-year-old has 19 goals in 24 appearances in all competitions this season for club and country, and will hope to improve on that record tonight as they help the Red Devils to victory over Canada.
Roberto Martinez’s side finished the qualifying campaign unbeaten with six wins from eight games, beating the likes of Wales and the Czech Republic into first place to secure automatic qualification for this winter’s final.
Belgium have surprisingly lost their last two games ahead of tonight’s fixture, losing their only pre-tournament friendly 2-1 to Egypt last week, and their crucial Nations League clash with the Netherlands in September.
Their opponents, Canada, are playing in only their second World Cup in their history, and tonight’s game will be their first in the final since 1986, when they lost all three group games without scoring.
The Maple Leafs boast a new batch of top-class youngsters, including Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies and Lille’s Jonathan David, among others, who could cause problems for teams in the future in Qatar.
Canada, led by John Herdman of Durham, finished top of North American qualifying for this World Cup, and are being touted by some as potential dark horses to reach the knockout stage in a group also containing Croatia and the Morocco.
In two pre-tournament friendlies in recent weeks, Canada drew 2-2 with Bahrain before beating Japan 2-1 last week in Dubai.
