Belgium's national football team dropped a bombshell today by leaving star goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois out of their Euro 2024 squad. The Real Madrid keeper, still recovering from a torn ACL, will miss the tournament after coach Domenico Tedesco deemed him 'not ready' for the grueling schedule.
🚨 Why the snub? "He knows his body best," Tedesco explained, highlighting concerns about Courtois' fitness post-injury. The 32-year-old has been sidelined most of the season, though he's set to play in Saturday's Champions League final for Real Madrid.
🌟 New leadership alert! Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne will captain a revitalized Red Devils squad, while Axel Witsel makes a dramatic comeback at 35 to add veteran savvy. The 25-man roster, revealed Tuesday, mixes fresh energy with experience ahead of their June 14 opener in Germany.
⚽️ With Belgium ranked world No. 3, all eyes are on whether this shake-up can propel them past their 2020 quarterfinal exit. No pressure, KDB! 🔥
