Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said after his nation’s World Cup exit that he wants to take a “break” from international football, but said that the decision ultimately lies with the Belgian FA.
Spain defeated Belgium 2-1 on Friday after an 88th-minute winner from Mikel Merino. Courtois was substituted in the 71st minute after appearing to sustain a leg muscle injury and was replaced by Senne Lammens, who was at fault for Spain’s winner.
“As for my future with the national team, we’ll see,” he told reporters. “I’d perhaps like to take a break from the Nations League, as it’s not the most important thing. And maybe come back for the Euro qualifiers.
“But ultimately, it’s a decision the football association has to make. If not, perhaps today was my last match.”
