Many of the more experimental or, let's face it, better Leicester players are currently away with their National Teams. Though I am absolute positive that much of the up-and-coming starlets have what it takes to also become internal footballers themselves eventually. We have already seen the media attention and quality of exceptionally talented and young City ballers like Jeremy Monga and Louis Page.

England are training for two World Cup Qualifiers at the moment. The Three Lions, under the tutelage of Thomas Tuchel, face Serbia as well as Andorra. The venues for the competitive clashes are Rajko Mitic Stadium and Villa Park. Quite a few of the younger Foxes I mentioned earlier are coming through with England Under-17s and U18s at present too. So a bright future exists on Filbert Way.

Although this article is about another, seemingly less welcome Fox right now. Wout Faes was dropped by unlikeable Belgium boss Rudi Garcia for their matches against Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan. The Red Devils beat the Blues-Reds 6-0, by the way. Meanwhile Faes is supposedly not omitted, according to certain reports. No. He was actually said to be allowed to complete a transfer away from City. His National Side manager definitely wants that to happen amid criticism from a Belgian reporter.

Did Garcia give Faes time off to get out of LCFC? As strange as that sounds, yes, it is a distinct possibility. Despite the fanciful nature of the apparent task. Obviously Leicester fans wouldn't object, either.

Nevertheless, Belgian writer Hein Vanhaezebrouck isn't buying that theory at all. He believes the Fox was axed due to his poor form for club and country.

"The new national coach continued that trend, with Wout Faes. Now we have a problem,” he says. “Wout Faes hasn’t been called up.”

“Because he’s working on a transfer, according to the national coach? Openda and Vanhoutte were also working on transfers and were selected. But he’s not playing, getting booed by his own supporters."

Furthermore, he cited to players in very similar circumstances who were selected. Loïs Openda and Charles Vanhoutte still made the squad regardless of uncertainty.
