The Blues’ biggest stories from Wednesday.

Thibaut Courtois will be dropped by Belgium if he doesn’t become Chelsea No.1

Having returned to Stamford Bridge this summer after three years of success on-loan with Atletico Madrid the goalkeeper has been sent a message of warning by Marc Wilmots.

The Belgium national team coach has warned Courtois that if he doesn’t establish himself between the sticks in West London he will be dropped from the international stage.

“Courtois will remain my No 1. But I know he could end up on the bench at Chelsea. In that case I will re-assess,” Wilmots was quoted by the Sun.
