It is now a problem on the groin that Kevin struggled with in the past few games,&#8221; manager Domenico Tedesco shared with the media today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On Wednesday, I spoke to the doctor and De Bruyne, and we decided the risk was too great. It is our responsibility to take into account the footballer but also the footballer\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The better scenario is to recover at his club fully and then have him ready for the Euro. We can&#8217;t gamble, and certainly not with De Bruyne.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sky Blues star Kevin De Bruyne has been left out of the latest Belgium squad because of a slight groin strain.
