Kevin De Bruyne: Manchester City midfielder pulls out of Belgium squad with unspecified injury

The Manchester City midfielder started in Belgium's 2-1 defeat to England on Sunday, but he is set to miss the remainder of national team duty as he begins his recovery from an injury which is currently unspecified.

Kevin de Bruyne has withdrawn from Belgium's squad for Wednesday's Nations League game against Iceland with an unspecified injury and returned to his club Manchester City, the Belgian national team said.

The 29-year-old was substituted in the second half during Belgium's 2-1 Nations League defeat by England at Wembley on Sunday.

"Kevin de Bruyne has returned to his club. He couldn't be fit enough to play against Iceland," the Belgian national team said on Twitter.
