Fulham’s Timothy Castagne will certainly be part of the Belgium squad for the European championship, according to Gazet van Antwerpen.
The right-back has been a regular for the national team ever since Domenico Tedesco took charge of De Rode Duivels more than a year ago.
Castagne joined Fulham from Leicester City last summer and is also a regular in Marco Silva’s starting lineup.
The 28-year-old has made 30 appearances for the Premier League side and that’s helped him maintain a place with Belgium. The newspaper has labelled his move to Fulham as a ‘good transfer’.
Even though the defender has been featuring regularly for his country [and club] and also does well on the right side of the back four, the report says Castagne ‘doesn’t make a huge impression’.
When discussing options, Thomas Meunier, who left Borussia Dortmund from Trabzonspor in the winter market, and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise’s Alessio Castro-Montes are named.
Whether that desire for competition sees Castagne rested for a game or two by Belgium remains to be seen.
