Sobre Bruyne withdraws from Belgium team
Manchester City midfielder Kevin Sobre Bruyne is a doubt for Saturday’s match against Arsenal after pulling out from the Belgium squad.
De Bruyne was substituted throughout the second half of Belgium’s 2-1 defeat to Britain in the Nations League on Weekend.
Belgium say De Bruyne is not “fit enough” to function in Wednesday’s match against Iceland, and the midfielder has now returned in order to Manchester City for further assessment.
Belgium manager Roberto Martinez played throughout the severity of the situation in his post-match comments after the England defeat.
“I would not say that Kevin is injured… he said he or she felt something, ” Martinez mentioned.
“It is too early to find out what he has, but he failed to feel 100 per cent. It was instead a precautionary change. ”
De Bruyne is now any doubt for City’s Premier League conflict with Arsenal at the Etihad upon Saturday, live on Skies Sports.
