De Bruyne rejects claims of Belgium unrest

The Rode Duivels star was delighted with the way his side responded to their defeat to Italy but urged his team-mates to ensure they do the same against Sweden

Kevin De Bruyne has dismissed suggestions of unrest in the Belgium camp following their 3-0 win over Republic of Ireland on Saturday.

Belgium were heavily criticised after losing their Euro 2016 opener 2-0 to Italy, with reports stating a number of players were unhappy with head coach Marc Wilmots' tactics.

De Bruyne, though, has made it clear there is no truth in such claims after they bounced back with a win over Ireland courtesy of Romelu Lukaku's double and a header from Axel Witsel.
