News from the camp of Ukraine's rival in the Euro 2024 group. In the national team of Belgium with a high probability in the near future will come clarity about who will be the main goalkeeper of this team at the European Championship.
Initially "number one" in the Belgian national team was Thibaut Courtois from Real Madrid, but he has a conflict with head coach Domenico Tedesco, and the goalkeeper has already stated that at Euro-2024 he will not play in any case, even if he has time to recover from surgery on the meniscus (last week Courtois returned to training, but is still working individually).
Courtois' replacement in the Euro-2024 qualifying cycle ended up being German Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kun Castells, who in early March suffered a rather serious shoulder injury, because of which his participation in Euro-2024 was in serious doubt. However, last Monday the 31-year-old goalkeeper started individual training. Moreover, according to German media, Castells may start working in the general group by the end of this week. In any case, his prospects of playing at Euro 2024 are now assessed as absolutely real.
If Castells still does not have time to fully recover and gain the necessary conditioning by the start of the European Championship, the gates of the national team of Belgium at the tournament will be defended by the third goalkeeper of the team - Matz Sels from English Nottingham Forest, who played in March friendlies with Ireland (0:0) and England (2:2).
