Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco has confirmed that long-serving Wolfsburg goalkeeper Koen Casteels will be his no. 1 at the Euros ahead of Matz Sels.
Koen Casteels, who has played for Wolfsburg since 2015, will be Belgium’s first-choice goalkeeper at the European Championship.
This was confirmed by Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco at a press conference on Friday.
Matz Sels and Thomas Kaminski are behind Casteels in the pecking order for Belgium, with Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois left out of the squad.
Casteels played 90 minutes in Belgium’s 2-0 friendly win over Montenegro earlier this week.
The 31-year-old has now represented his country on nine occasions.
He is set to leave Wolfsburg this summer when his contract expires, with Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah thought to be leading the race for his signature. Celtic and Anderlecht are also thought to be interested.
