'Top player' Nainggolan out for 'tactical reasons'
The Belgian manager said that the decision was "tactical" despite describing the 30-year old as a "top player".
After missing out of what is almost certainly his last World Cup, Nainggolan posted a message on social media:
"Very reluctantly my international career comes to an end. I've always done everything I could to represent my country."
