By John Drayton Koen Casteels has been dropped from Belgium’s World Cup squad after the third-choice goalkeeper failed to recover from a broken bone in his leg. Coach Marc Wilmots had waited until the last possible moment to submit his final 23-man group to head to Brazil as he waited on Hoffenheim stopper Casteels, but has now confirmed Sammy Bossut of Zulte-Waregem will go in his place. Wilmots originally submitted a 24-man group with the names of both goalkeepers - who sit behind Thibaut Courtois and Simon Mignolet in the pecking order - but confirmed on Tuesday that only Bossut would travel.
