“he understood the idea of ​​giving a few young people the chance”

Indomitable Lions coach Marc Brys says the idea behind Jean Charles Castelletto’s non-preselection is the desire to try new players.

The list of Indomitable Lions preselected for the double confrontation against Kenya counting for the CAN 2025 qualifiers has been made public. Jean-Charles Castelletto is indeed absent from said list. Belgian coach Marc Brys gives the reasons for this choice.

« I spoke with Castelletto, he was seriously injured but he started playing again with his team […] But he understood the idea of ​​giving a few young people the chance […] We don’t close the door […] But I would like to try new players too “, he said.

If the coach of the Indomitable Lions Marc Brys justifies the non-preselection of Jean-Charles Casttelletto by the desire to test new players, our colleagues from RSI who had indicated in the morning that the name of the latter should not appear in the list which will be sent to Fecafoot for the two upcoming matches of the Indomitable Lions, they also added that the captain of the Nantes Canaries would be accused by the Belgian’s clan of having shunned the selection, at the time when the player was officially declared injured. Still, according to RSI, the idea now is to build the defense around Michael Ngadeu to the detriment of the Nantes player.
