TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans says he hopes success at international level in the Nations League this week will help his club form at Leicester City after a mediocre start to the season.
Tielemans has struggled to find form in the Premier League after being one of his club’s outstanding performers in the last campaign, including scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup final.
"It's true that we have a difficult start to the season at Leicester. Perhaps this interruption will help with that and I can return to England afterwards with a fresh head," he added.
