The possible return of Thibaut Courtois to the Belgian selection is not to everyone’s taste.

It is an episode which left its mark within the Red Devils. During last June’s gathering, Thibaut Courtois decided to leave his Paris partners in the draw against Austria (1-1), as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers, after learning that he would not be captain despite the absence of Kevin De Bruyne.

“He played with the press and we didn’t need that”

A behavior which clearly did not please Timothy Castagne, who made it known during an interview given to Evening. “ From my point of view, if Thibaut had wanted to, he could stay but it’s his choice. He played with the press and we didn’t need that. It would be weird if Thibaut came back as if nothing had happened. Afterwards, it will be a problem to be resolved between Thibaut and the coach. (…) We have to ask ourselves the question: do we want to sacrifice the Red Devils group for a player? »thus released the Fulham player, who has 35 caps with Belgium.

As a reminder, Thibaut Courtois suffered a rupture of the anterior ligament of his left knee during training in August. The Real Madrid goalkeeper is therefore still recovering.
