Wout Faes

Foxes Trio Feature In Friendly Triumphs

Wout Faes started for Belgium while Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen were involved for Denmark as both nations recorded victories on Wednesday.

Belgium hosted Montenegro at Stade Roi Baudouin and cruised to a 2-0 friendly success in Brussels, captain Kevin De Bruyne opening the scoring just before the interval, ahead of a stoppage-time penalty from Leandro Trossard doubling the advantage and putting the game beyond the visitors.

Leicester City central defender Faes played the opening half as the Red Devils warmed up for UEFA EURO 2024, kicking off later this month.

Vestergaard up against Newcastle United and Sweden forward Alexander Isak.

Elsewhere, his centre-back partner Vestergaard was in Denmark's starting XI as they beat Scandinavian rivals Sweden 2-1 at Parken Stadium. The hosts were ahead just two minutes in courtesy of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg's early effort, but Alexander Isak soon restored parity. 

Foxes full-back Victor Kristiansen, who has spent the season on loan at Serie A outfit Bologna, was then introduced just after the hour-mark, and it took until four minutes from time for the Danes to find a winner, Christian Eriksen striking to earn a late victory. Mads Hermansen was an unused substitute for Kasper Hjulmand's side.

Head back to LCFC.com on Thursday evening for a round-up of the day's international action, with Harry Souttar in line for minutes when Australia meet Bangladesh, before Danny Ward could feature for Wales against Gibraltar.
