Manchester City's talisman Kevin De Bruyne has undergone minor surgery on the fractured eye socket he suffered during Manchester City's outing in the Champions League final, but has handed Belgium a boost as he is set to join their Euro 2020 squad on Monday June 7.
The 29-year-old lasted just an hour of a European showpiece in Porto before being forced from the field following a collision with Antonio Rudiger.
He suffered nose and eye injuries, with fears raised regarding his involvement at this summer's European Championship, but a quick operation has him ready for international duty.
Belgium tactician Roberto Martinez gave an update on the Man City midfielder in a press conference stating "It went very well, very positively. We are looking forward to Monday when he will join the squad in training.
The Belgium medical team is satisfied with the outcome of the surgery and explained that De Bruyne would not need too much time to recover and will be able to join his teammates in training for national duty ahead of Euro 2020.
The recovery of the 29-year-old will be a huge relief for Martinez as he attempts to steer Belgium, who are ranked the number one team in the world, to a first European title.
Belgium are due to open their quest for continental glory against Russia on June 12, before going on to face Denmark and Finland in their other Group B fixtures.
