"The previous national coach relied heavily on Wout Faes, with Theate or Debast alongside him. The new national coach continued that trend, with Wout Faes. Now we have a problem. 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 and is being booed by his own supporters."
"Leicester manager Carlos Cifuentes has defended Faes, acknowledging his quality, but has continued to prefer other options in the starting lineup. With the UK transfer window closed, Faes' most likely route out of the club would be through leagues where deals remain possible, including Turkey and Saudi Arabia. It is evident that the 27-year-old is not at his best, and he is lacking in form and confidence."
Wout Faes has fallen out of favour at Leicester City and missed a Belgium call-up after being a past regular starter. The 27-year-old started regularly last season but has not started a single league game this campaign, appearing only from the bench. Former coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck publicly questioned his national-team credentials, citing transfer and form issues and crowd boos. Leicester manager Carlos Cifuentes has defended Faes's quality but has selected other defenders. With the UK transfer window closed, possible exits point to leagues such as Turkey or Saudi Arabia. Faes needs a fresh start to regain form and confidence.
