Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has been praised by Belgium manager Domenico Tedesco.

The 32-year-old scored during Belgium’s 2-0 win over Romania at the European Championship on Saturday, as De Bruyne’s 80th minute goal helped Belgium bounce back from a shock loss to Slovakia during their opening Euro’s match.

The Manchester City midfielder captained Belgium for the win in Cologne, and is expected to wear the armband again on Wednesday evening, when they face Ukraine in a crucial concluding Group E clash in Stuttgart.

The midfielder will be crucial to Belgium’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stages of the European Championship, with De Bruyne having been directly involved in 24 goals for club and country since returning from hamstring surgery in January.

Belgium were without De Bruyne for a number of pre-tournament friendlies due to the midfielder’s recovery, however Belgium boss Tedesco has hailed the impact of his return for the European Championship.
