Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois being involved in leaks by ex-Belgium boss Marc Wilmots: 'It means you do not respect your homeland'

Sacked Marc Wilmots has suggested he had a mole in the Belgium dressing room — and says he was told it was Thibaut Courtois.

The former Belgium international was dismissed from his job after the much-fancied side lost their Euro 2016 quarter-final against Wales and has since had a short spell in charge of the Ivory Coast.

But the manager and Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois feuded throughout the tournament, which included criticism of the manager's tactics from the 25-year-old.
