Real Madrid star Thibaut Courtois is on course to return to the Belgium national team in 2025.
The Los Blancos No.1 is currently eighth on the all-time list of appearances for the Red Devils with 102 caps.
However, after his high-profile decision to step down from the squad in August 2024, the 32-year-old has not added to his tally of international games.
Courtois has been locked in a disagreement with head coach Domenico Tedesco which ultimately confirmed his call on international duty.
Despite the lack of a resolution between the pair, Courtois had indicated his openness to a comeback and the situation has taken a key twist.
Belgium have opted to sack Tedesco, due to his inconsistent results in 2024, opening the door for Courtois to come back.
