- Belgium beat Estonia 3-0 in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualification group stage match
- Timothy Castagne and Wout Faes played 90 minutes on Tuesday night
- Victory leaves the Red Devils in second-place in Group F with seven points 

Both Castagne and Faes started for the Red Devils in their third match of qualification Group F, having already picked up four points from their opening two games, with a 3-0 win over Sweden and most recently a 1-1 draw with Austria. 

Things got off to a good start for Belgium, who had a commanding 2-0 lead going into the break, thanks to Romelu Lukaku. The Chelsea loanee, who featured in this season's UEFA Champions League Final in Istanbul with Inter, scored both first-half goals, taking his competition tally to six in three games.

During the second half, both Leicester defenders stayed at the heart of the action, and the scoring was rounded off late in injury time when PSV Eindhoven winger Johan Bakayoko made it 3-0,  as Tuesday's visitors at A. Le Coq Arena picked up three points, and an impressive clean sheet on the road to fourth-placed Estonia.

The result leaves the Red Devils second in Group F, currently in the qualification spaces, with seven points from a possible nine. There's now a break in Belgium's fixtures, as they will now have to wait until September when they face Azerbaijan. 

The Foxes are next on the international scene on Sunday, first of all when Leicester City Development Squad midfielder Brandon Cover could feature for Jamaica against USA (2:30am kick-off), before young full-back Luke Thomas has the chance to represent England Under-21s when they take on Israel Under-21s (5pm kick-off).
