De Bruyne turns down medical treatment during Belgium-Iran match

During Belgium's ongoing match against Iran in the World Cup on June 21, Kevin De Bruyne signaled for his teammate Leandro Trossard to forego medical treatment. Trossard suffered a hard foul from Iranian player Alireza Jahanbakhsh, resulting in visible marks on his calf. Belgium's medical staff was on the field but awaited De Bruyne's approval to provide care, which he denied, following new rules stating treated players must wait to re-enter the match. Trossard remained down for nearly a minute and a half as play continued.
