<p>The 34-year-old, who won the first of his 109 caps in 2011, ‌suggested it was time to pass the torch after ‌the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States.</p><p><strong>“I don’t know ‌if we should be talking about the future right ‌now, but the chances are greater that I won’t continue after this tournament than that I will,”</strong> he told reporters at the Belgian ‌team base.</p><p><strong>“I still want to play for ⁠a few more years.</strong></p><p><strong>“And ‌then you have to take care of your body. My family is ​here because this could be my last tournament.”</strong></p><p>But the Real Madrid goalkeeper also suggested he could be ​persuaded to continue.</p><p><strong>“If we have a good World Cup, of course. And continuing to feel the good atmosphere within the ⁠group. Afterward, I’ll ​need to have an internal discussion with the coach, (technical director) Vincent Mannaert, and the doctors.”</strong></p><p>Courtois said that under former coach Domenico Tedesco he was allowed to skip some international breaks, and ‌that reinforced his thinking.</p><p><strong>“I noticed that during those international breaks you can get some rest and work quietly in the gym,”</strong> he said.</p><p>“In addition, over the last year and a half, I’ve had more little physical problems and injuries, so you naturally think more about the future.</p><p><strong>"I’m considering passing the torch. There’s a lot of talent coming through with Senne (Lammers) and Mike (Penders).”</strong></p><p>Courtois said he was raring to go against ‌Egypt on Monday.</p><p><strong>“Yes, I’m very hungry, just like the rest ​of the group. I feel very good and I’m ‌looking forward to it.</strong></p><p><strong>“I also worked very hard on my comeback during the spring. The (quadriceps) injury was unfortunate because at that moment I felt almost unbeatable. But I’m ready to maintain my level now and stay focused,”</strong> ⁠he added.</p><p>Belgium also face Iran ⁠and New Zealand in ‌the group stage.</p>
