Chelsea youngster Charly Musonda Jr has a chance of being included in Belgium’s Euro 2021 squad, reports in Belgium have suggested.
The 19-year-old was loaned to Real Betis in the January transfer window and he enjoyed a brilliant start to his career in Spain.
Musonda largely impressed in his first five La Liga starts, scoring one goal and producing another assist, which proved enough for Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots to take notice.
The highly rated tactician was in the stands as Real Betis hammered Espanyol in midweek, and he must have been happy with what he saw as Musonda set up the second goal for his side.
This is enough to suggest that the son of former Anderlecht midfielder Charly Musonda has a realistic chance of going to France, and he will probably receive a call-up for international friendly vs Portugal, taking place on 29 March.
Belgium have high ambitions at the Euro 2021 finals, where they will battle the likes of Italy, Republic of Ireland and Sweden in Group E.
The Red Devils have also scheduled warm-up games against Switzerland (28.05.), Finland (01.06.) and Norway (05.06.).
