Scandal in the Belgian national team. Goalkeeper leaves due to Courtois' return

Domenico Tedesco left the Belgian national team, paving the way for Thibaut Courtois' return to the squad, which eventually happened. It seemed like this would resolve all conflicts. But in reality, they're just beginning.

Details: Koen Casteels became the first-choice goalkeeper for Belgium after Courtois' departure, and he wasn't pleased with Thibaut's return. In fact, Casteels believes that the dissatisfaction isn't limited to him alone. However, so far, he's the only one who has decided to leave the national team.

Quote: “First of all, I find it strange that Courtois decided to return on his own, and it's odd that the federation changed its mind. To me, we are all equal, no player is above the team. This was said from the very beginning, but now the federation has rolled out the red carpet for him. Recently, I heard him talk about Tedesco's dismissal, saying it proves he was right. In my opinion, this shows that he doesn't feel guilty.

From today, I can no longer play for the national team. I can't join the squad with a clear conscience. There are many players who disagree. I'm curious about what they will say. It's not just about the incident between Courtois and Tedesco; there were other things said that affected me,” Casteels told Cadena SER.

Reminder: Courtois was not included in Real Madrid's squad for the match against Rayo Vallecano.
