KEVIN DE BRUYNE has been left out of the Belgium squad to face Ireland in a friendly international on Saturday week, 23 March.
Belgium also face England three days later, but De Bruyne will play no part owing to a “minor groin injury.”
His Man City team-mate Jeremy Doku is included in Domenico Tedesco’s selection, along with Arsenal’s Leandro Trossard, Roma’s Romelu Lukaku, and Youri Tielemans of Aston Villa. Highly-rated teenage midfielder Arthur Vermeeren, now of Atletico Madrid, is also included.
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is injured, with Yannick Carrasco and Thorgan Hazard also absent.
