Thibaut Courtois: Injured in training

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says that he would like to stay at Stamford Bridge.

After a poor season, there were rumours that Courtois would favour a move away from the club, but the Belgian rejected those reports.

In fact, Courtois says that he has spoken to Antonio Conte and is looking forward to next season at Chelsea.

“Yes, I’ve spoken to him,” Courtois said. “We had a good chat.”

“Of course. There are rumours from the press always popping up.

“But I’m calm with it. My season has not been the very best like last year, when when we won the Premier League. But still, I’m very confident in myself that I will have a good Euros and another good season at Chelsea.”

“I had a wonderful time in Spain and I have a Spanish girlfriend, so one day I would like to go back. But that can be well after my career.

“With injuries, my season has been different with Chelsea and we didn’t have the best season. For myself, there were a few goals when I could have done better, but I still made good saves.

“Some people forget quickly about your qualities, but I’m confident I will have a good Euros with Belgium.”
