Many of the more seasoned or, let’s be honest, superior Leicester players are presently away with their National Teams. Though I am fully convinced a number of the emerging youngsters have what it takes to also become international footballers themselves in time.
We have already witnessed the media spotlight and class of remarkably gifted and youthful City talents like Jeremy Monga and Louis Page.
England are preparing for two World Cup Qualifiers at the moment. The Three Lions, under the guidance of Thomas Tuchel, face Serbia as well as Andorra.
The locations for the decisive encounters are Rajko Mitic Stadium and Villa Park. Several of the younger Foxes, some I noted earlier, are currently progressing with England Under-17s and U18s too. So there is a promising future on Filbert Way.
Although this piece is about another seemingly less desirable Fox right now. Wout Faes was omitted by unpopular Belgium boss Rudi Garcia for their fixtures against Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan. The Red Devils beat the Blues-Reds 6-0, incidentally.
Meanwhile Faes supposedly wasn’t excluded, according to some reports. No. He was actually believed to be permitted to finalise a transfer away from City. His National Side manager clearly prefers that to happen amid criticism from a Belgian journalist.
Unwanted Leicester City centre back Wout Faes reportedly given opportunity to finalise transfer amid criticism from Belgium journalist:
Did Garcia hand Faes time off to depart LCFC? As odd as that may seem, yes, it is a definite possibility. Despite the fanciful aspect of the supposed arrangement. Naturally most Leicester supporters wouldn’t complain, either!
Nevertheless, Belgian commentator Hein Vanhaezebrouck isn’t accepting that explanation at all. He feels the Fox was dropped due to his poor form for both club and country.
“The new national coach continued that trend, with Wout Faes. Now we have a problem,” he says. “Wout Faes hasn’t been called up.”
“Because he’s working on a transfer, according to the national coach? Openda and Vanhoutte were also working on transfers and were selected. But he’s not playing, getting booed by his own supporters.” – [Sports Witness]
Furthermore, he highlighted two players in almost identical situations who were chosen. Loïs Openda and Charles Vanhoutte still made the squad regardless of doubts.
