Injury scare for Man City as De Bruyne withdraws from Belgium squad

Manchester City have been given an injury scare after Kevin De Bruyne was forced to withdraw from the Belgium squad and return to the Premier League side.

The 29-year-old started for the Red Devils in their Nations League clash against England at Wembley on Sunday before being withdrawn after 73 minutes.

The midfielder did not appear to be carrying an injury, though he was seen talking animatedly with boss Roberto Martinez as he made his way off the pitch.

Speaking after the game Martinez appeared to deliver good news by confirming that De Bruyne was not injured, but he did need to be assessed.
