(Reuters) - Kevin de Bruyne has had minor surgery on the eye socket he injured in the Champions League final and will join the Belgium squad on Monday as they complete their preparations for the Euro 2020 tournament.

There had been fears that key midfielder De Bruyne could miss part or all of the finals, but Belgium coach Roberto Martinez says the surgery he required was only a"small intervention".

"That small intervention was necessary with a view to the long term. He will not need a long recovery. De Bruyne fractured his nose and a bone around his left eye socket in last Saturday’s Champions League final playing for Manchester City in their 1-0 defeat by Chelsea. They open their campaign next Saturday against Russia in St Petersburg and will also play Denmark and Finland in their pool.
