Timothy Castagne’s situation is not changing. The Red Devil spends most of his time on the bench. But then, how to explain this?
Selected with the Red Devils last November despite his lack of playing time at Fulham, Timothy Castagne took advantage of the international break to play again. A special selection for him, because he notably took a new step by wearing the captain’s armband for the first time with Belgium against Israel.
Since his return to the club, the situation remains unchanged. The coach favors Kenny Tete, who is having a good season with the English club. But yet, Timothy could have taken his chance…
Indeed, the Red Devil was preferred to the Dutch against Brighton on December 5. However, his performance was clearly not enough to regain his starting place. He has since returned to the bench.
A game time worrying
When we take a look at the number of minutes played, it’s a disaster. This season, Castagne has only taken part in 7 matches with Fulham for 323 minutes of play.

The right-back has played 438 minutes for the national team.
