In the YouTube video titled “Kevin De Bruyne not included in Belgium’s squad to play Republic of Ireland and England,” the manager explains that De Bruyne, who is Belgium’s captain and a crucial player, has been excluded from the squad due to a groin injury.

After consulting with doctors and speaking with De Bruyne himself, the manager determined that it was too risky for him to play or train with the team, as there was a possibility of re-aggravating the injury.

Although it’s unfortunate that De Bruyne cannot join them, the manager feels it’s their responsibility to protect him and ensure he is fully recovered for the Euros. De Bruyne has been out of action for Belgium for nearly a year, having only appeared in one of their qualifiers for the tournament.

Despite his eagerness to play and the team’s requirement for him, the manager believes the best course of action is to keep him out of the current matches and focus on his rehabilitation with Manchester City.
