Thibaut Courtois: Belgium training standards higher than Chelsea

Published on: 26 March 2016

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admits he finds training with Belgium a higher standard.

The 23-year-old has linked up with his international team-mates ahead of a friendly clash with Portugal on Tuesday and, speaking to broadcaster RTBF, he revealed the difference in quality between the Belgian set-up and what he's used to at Cobham.

Courtois has played 64 games for the Blues since arriving in west London from Genk in 2011.

He said: "The level of training is higher among the Belgians as there are only world class international players in the squad, while at Chelsea the core squad sometimes trains alongside the youngsters as well."
