Belgium’s record scorer Romelu Lukaku has been called up to their squad for this month’s European Championship qualifiers, coach Domenico Tedesco said on Friday, despite the striker not yet playing this season.
“We have seen in recent international matches that Romelu is extremely important to us, both on and off the field,” Tedesco said. But Tedesco did deem new Chelsea player Romeo Lavia, signed from Southampton last month, as"not fit enough" for a call-up. Lavia, 19, has not played either this season.Tedesco spent some of Friday’s press conference fielding questions about goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who walked out on the squad in June after being overlooked for the captaincy.
“The most important thing is that he is now recovering well. We have stayed in touch with Thibaut in recent weeks and months. A meeting was planned with myself, but the next day he got injured,” Tedesco said.Goalkeepers: Arnaud Bodart , Koen Casteels , Thomas Kaminski , Matz Sels
