One year later, Adnan Januzaj has been summoned again by Robert Martinez for the Belgium team, which plays friendlies against Ireland on the 26th of this month and against Burkina Faso on the 29th. This is perhaps the last train to Qatar for the Real Sociedad player. The coach has dispensed with all the cracks of him-Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, Courteous..- and any ‘red devil’ with more than 50 caps in order to test other players, who can win the ticket to the World Cup at the end of the year.
In that limited number of players there is a Januzaj that he has only played one match with Belgium in the last three and a half years (in an 8-0 against Belarus) and that he had not been present in any of the last five summonses of the ‘red devils’. In total, he has been capped 13 times, with one goal, for England in the 2018 World Cup.
At 27 years old, Januzaj lives a crucial moment in his career. His contract with Real ends in three months and he will have to take on new responsibilities in the team due to the injury of Mikel Oyarzabal. Imanol Cross your fingers that you don’t have any physical mishaps with your team.
