Not traveling for opener De Bruyne (nose, face) is not traveling to Russia for Belgium's opener on Saturday. Impact This isn't too surprising for De Bruyne, as it makes more sense for him to return to 100 percent fitness before taking the pitch. His absence could mean a couple other players get pitch time, with Leander Dendoncker and Thorgan Hazard possibly benefitting the most. As of now, it's expected De Bruyne will be better and ready for the June 17 contest.
