Manchester City and Belgium playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne could be injured as he has withdrawn from the Belgium squad to face Iceland in the ongoing UEFA Nations League.

The 29-year-old midfielder, De Bruyne, was substituted in the 73minute of Sunday's fixture which ended in a 2-1 defeat to England at Wembley due to fitness issue.

He is currently being assessed ahead of Premier League clash with Arsenal at Home ( Etihad Stadium) on Saturday.

Belgium Manager, Roberto Martinez in a post-match interview said: "I wouldn’t say it was an injury.”

“It is too early to say. There was a feeling that he wasn’t right – it was more precaution that we had to avoid (something), he wasn’t 100 per cent.”

Also, a tweet from Belgium National Team official account read: “@DeBruyneKev returned to his club. He couldn’t be fit enough to play against Iceland.”
