I hope fans accept me - Courtois ends Belgium exile
Briefly

Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has returned to the national team after a fallout with former coach Domenico Tedesco led to his departure from a training camp. With new coach Rudi Garcia, Courtois aims to participate in the Nations League playoff against Ukraine. He acknowledged his mishandling of the situation, citing misunderstandings and miscommunication with teammates. Courtois expressed the need for clarity and relief after discussing the events with his fellow players and reflecting on his mental readiness at the time.
"There were a lot of misunderstandings, half-truths, so I was able to explain what happened. The team-mates were able to ask their questions."
"I know I made my mistakes. At that time, I wasn't mentally 100% ready to play. After a long season, you sometimes have impulsive reactions."
