Courtois is one of the few players in Guus Hiddink’s squad who have not had their reputation tarnished by the poor campaign.

The Belgian international joined Chelsea for £5million in 2011 before spending three seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid.
He has made 19 appearances for the club this season, but missed the first-half of the campaign with a knee injury.
