Belgium's national team has announced that Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne will be absent from the upcoming squad due to a precautionary measure related to a slight groin strain. De Bruyne, who recently returned to action after a five-month absence due to a hamstring injury, will miss Belgium's matches against the Republic of Ireland and England this week.
Coach Domenico Tedesco explained that the decision to omit De Bruyne was made in consultation with the player and medical staff, considering the risk involved in his current condition. The focus is on ensuring De Bruyne's full recovery for the European Championship, and it was deemed best for him to rest and recuperate at his club, Manchester City.
