Dispute continues
Belgium squad: Tedesco leaves Courtois at home!
Belgium team boss Domenico Tedesco has decided to leave Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois out of the squad for the European Championship in Germany. The 32-year-old is now fit again after serious knee injuries, but did not make the 25-man squad presented on Tuesday. Last June, there was a dispute between Courtois and Tedesco following the 1-1 draw against Austria in the European Championship qualifiers. Since then, the German-Italian keeper has no longer been in demand.
Belgium are led by Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne. Romelu Lukaku from AS Roma and 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen (Anderlecht, 154 caps) are also included.
The call-up of Axel Witsel (35) was a surprise. The Atletico Madrid veteran played the last of his 130 international matches to date at the World Cup in Qatar in December 2022. Belgium will face Slovakia, Romania and Ukraine in their group at the European Championships.
