Courtois' Comeback: Belgium's Goalkeeper Returns

Thibaut Courtois, the Belgian goalkeeper, is set to rejoin the national team after previous coach Domenico Tedesco's departure. Courtois had been absent due to a fallout over the captaincy selection but is now looking forward to playing under new coach Rudi Garcia.

Thibaut Courtois, the esteemed Belgium goalkeeper, has announced his availability for national team selection once more. After a period of self-imposed exile due to disagreements with former coach Domenico Tedesco, Courtois is expected to make his comeback next month.

The 32-year-old Real Madrid player, who abstained from play after being snubbed for the captaincy, expressed his eagerness to return. In a candid conversation on Rio Ferdinand's podcast, Courtois emphasized how much he missed representing Belgium internationally.

With new coach Rudi Garcia at the helm, the landscape looks promising for Courtois. Belgium is slated to face Ukraine in a crucial Nations League playoff, presenting an opportunity for the goalkeeper to reclaim his national glory. The turnaround marks a fresh chapter for the team, as they aim for success under Garcia's leadership.
