Tielemans is relieved to be away on international duty.

According to the Leicester Mercury, one of Brendan Rodgers’ biggest priorities this summer will be ensuring that Tielemans commits his future to the club.
At the end of a successful few months, where he scored three goals in 13 games, Tielemans joined Leicester permanently that summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £32million.
Tielemans’ best years are still ahead of him, and Rodgers is keen to extend his current contract so he spends them with the Foxes.
He sees Tielemans as a key part of Leicester’s continued progress after another impressive campaign, where he scored nine goals in all competitions.
The most memorable was the thumping 30-yard strike against Chelsea that clinched the first FA Cup in the club’s history.
