Thibaut Courtois' teammate fumes at Real Madrid star over "disappointing" Belgium drama

Belgium international Yannick Carrasco has criticised team-mate Thibaut Courtois for his "disappointing" reaction to not receiving the captaincy from new manager Domenico Tedesco.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois was snubbed by Tedesco when he gave Romelu Lukaku the armband for Saturday's 1-1 draw with Austria in the absence of regular skipper Kevin De Bruyne. By Monday, the ex-Chelsea shot-stopper had already left Belgium's training camp, with Tedesco suggesting that he walked out because he was angry with the decision.

In a strongly-worded statement, Courtois, 31, claimed that he ultimately left the camp due to injury, but that hasn't prevented Carrasco from making his frustration with his team-mate clear. "We are disappointed by his reaction," the Atletico Madrid winger told RBTV, as quoted by Spainish outlet Mundo Deportivo.
