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"."It went very well, very positively. We are looking forward to Monday when he will join our squad," Martinez told reporters on Saturday.
"The operation only took 20 minutes. The medical staff is satisfied with the result. De Bruyne is now doing well, that's all." They open their campaign next Saturday against Russia in St Petersburg and will also play Denmark and Finland in their pool.
