Leicester: Bad news for Fox as horrible injury rules him out
A Leicester City defender has had some terrible news as he sustained a horrible injury ruling him out of the Euro2020 tournament after playing one game. Hopefully Timothy Castagne is OK.
Belgium began their Euros competition with a wonderfully controlled and skilfully composed victory over Russia in Group B. The international Red Devils – not to be confused with Manchester United’s identical nickname – are definitely one of the favourites to lift the Henri Delaunay Trophy behind, of course, France.
Leicester have a strong trio representing them in the Belgian squad: with Foxes Player of the Season Youri Tielemans, underrated midfielder Dennis Praet and lastly defender Timothy Castagne making up the contingent. Many other current and former Premier League stars also comprise the roster such as Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku.
Leicester City man has to withdraw
Sadly for Castagne he’s featured in his first and last Euro2020 game it appears. That is because the versatile fullback sustained an apparent fractured eye socket whilst competing against the Russians. There is extra information on the Sky Sports website if you require it.
Manager of the eventual winners on the evening, Roberto Martinez, confirmed his athlete would have to withdraw from Belgium’s squad due to the dangerous brake. A tough collision with Daler Kuzyaev, from the team nicknamed ‘Our Guys’, occurred before even the second half in St Petersburg.
