On several occasions in recent months, Thomas Meunier has proclaimed that he would always be available to the national team and that he did not plan to retire from international football one day. A clear statement from the Trabzonspor full-back that contrasts with other elements of the Devils’ core who prefer to dodge the issue when it comes to their future in the national team.
