There is heartbreak for Kevin De Bruyne as his Belgium have been eliminated from the World Cup but Manchester City fans do think his early exit will be a big benefit to the club.
City have 16 representatives in Qatar so the risk of one of their important first-team stars is high in such an intense schedule of high-stake matches. Thankfully, things have gone well so far with no injuries being suffered and Kyle Walker actually returning from his time on the sidelines after groin surgery with England.
Pep Guardiola's side will have a hectic run of matches when they return to action as they will be competing on four different fronts and will need all of their top players available. From that perspective, Belgium's early exit is great news for the Blues.
