The Belgian, retained by Roberto Martinez, did not play a single minute during the tournament: “I saw Wout Faes several times in the Premier League with Leicester. He is much better than the defenders Belgium have fielded. I didn’t understand why he didn’t play at all“he said, in remarks relayed everywhere in the Belgian press.
