Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has been left out of the Belgium squad ahead of friendly clash with England as a result of a 'problem on the groin'.
The midfield maestro has endured a trying campaign that has been ravaged by injuries after a vintage season in 2022-23 that inspired his side to a historic Treble win culminating in Istanbul.
The Belgian was out from late August until late December with a hamstring injury and has so far missed some 32 games in all competitions through fitness issues for the Citizens, however this latest blow is only thought to be a minor one.
