According to reports, Kevin De Bruyne could be ruled out of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup, dealing a major blow to both Belgium and football fans around the world.
The Napoli midfielder has struggled with recurring injuries in recent seasons, and fresh reports suggest that his current fitness situation could keep him out of international duty for an extended period.
It’s a heartbreaking development for the 33-year-old playmaker, whose brilliance has been hindered by persistent muscle and hamstring problems.
Fans have expressed sadness over the news, describing it as another reminder of how injuries have robbed one of football’s greatest midfielders of his full potential in recent years.
De Bruyne, widely regarded as one of the best passers and creative minds in the game, was expected to lead Belgium’s next generation at the 2026 World Cup in North America.
However, as it stands, his participation is now in serious doubt.
