Kevin De Bruyne Ruled Out of Belgium Nations League Squad

"He requested that I attend this camp and also be present for the November camp to help him maintain his physical health."

Napoli star Romelu Lukaku's name was also missing from the list of 23 as Tedesco decided to rest the striker and allow him "to work individually" as he settles into life in the southern Italian club, which he joined in late August.

Belgium will play Italy in Rome on October 10, before travelling to Brussels to face France four days later.
