Man City's Kevin De Bruyne still suffering from injury despite returning at Euro 2020

Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne is still feeling the effects of the injury he sustained in the Champions League final.

De Bruyne sustained an acute nose bone fracture and left orbital fracture when colliding with Antonio Rudiger in the final versus Chelsea, which forced him off the pitch in the second half of that game when being deemed unable to continue.

Although De Bruyne missed Belgium's opening game of the European Championship through that injury, he's since made his return for his nation in style, winning the Man of the Match award against Denmark after creating a goal and scoring his nation's match-winner.

However, while De Bruyne is back playing, he's explained he's lost feeling on the left side of his face.

Should Rudiger have received red for his challenge on De Bruyne? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

"I still feel very little on my left side," De Bruyne said on Sunday at Belgium's press conference

"That's something I've got used to over the last week, it's annoying, but it's not so bad at the moment.

"At first, I was a little afraid of getting into duels and headers and that could also be an issue at the beginning."
