Chelsea midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been taken to hospital after suffering an ankle injury during training with Belgium.

De Bruyne will undergo scans on his ankle to confirm the extent of the injury just a day after Belgium and Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany was ruled out for a month.

As well as the Blues midfielder and City defender, boss Marc Wilmots has been forced to contend with a number of injury problems ahead of Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Croatia.

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini was told he requires wrist surgery after scans revealed the extent of his injury, but is set to play, while Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke could feature against Wales next Tuesday night, despite sitting out of the last two matches for his club.
