Kevin De Bruyne suspended for Belgium's Nations League match

Summary

Kevin De Bruyne is suspended for Belgium’s final Nations League fixture against France on October 5, following two yellow cards in their latest matches. He scored twice in a 3-0 win against Turkey, but his bookings in the tournament led to the suspension, as players are penalized after even-numbered yellow cards. It remains undecided whether he will be allowed to return to Napoli to train before their Serie A match against Frosinone on October 10. The decision rests with Belgian coach Mark van Bommel and the Belgian FA, who have not confirmed his potential early departure from the national camp.
