Games
Scotland-Belgium (Friday 7)
Iceland-Belgium (Tuesday 11)
Courtois will most likely start the Nations League game and he’ll welcome it. Given the hierarchy at Real Madrid, he has started just one game so far this season. Upon the return of the regular season that could all change. The former Chelsea man has been nominated for the FIFA Goalkeeper award even stronger.
