Serious concerns again for the Red Devils and national coach Domenico Tedesco. RTBF reports that Arthur Thiate suffered a setback during today’s training.
Before the European Championship, Jan Vertonghen, Arthur Theat, Aster Frankx and Youri Tielemans suffered injuries. After the friendly match against Luxembourg, Thomas Meunier and Axel Witsel were added. Tedesco was puzzled.
Updates
Youri Tielemans and Aster Frankx are now fully recovered, and Vertonghen has also announced that he can play against Romania. However, Witsel has not yet trained and Meunier is working on a return to top physiotherapist Levin Maichalk.
In recent days, Thiati also trained with the Red Devils again, but today things got worse again. “There are serious concerns about the left-footed defender. He stopped during today’s session and had obvious problems with his thigh.”
Defensive concerns
The problem remains the defense of the Belgian national team. Against Slovakia, veteran Jannik Carrasco got his chance at left-back, but it was not successful. Maxime De Cuyper impressed in the friendlies immediately preceding the European Championship, but Tedesco is keeping the Club Brugge defender on hand for now.
Thiate will provide another option, but it looks like the Stade Rennes defender will also have to miss the match against Romania. Tomorrow is a day off so there will be no more news on the severity of his injury until Thursday.
