Wilmots confident Man City ace De Bruyne will make speedy recovery

Belgium coach Marc Wilmots is confident of Manchester City winger Kevin De Bruyne making a full recovery.

De Bruyne is doubtful for the Euros after suffering serious knee and ankle injuries the club's 3-1 Capital One Cup semifinal victory over Everton last week.

The 24-year-old is due to be sidelined for 10-weeks, with Wilmots confident that he has enough time to recover.

"He is due to return on April 15," the former Schalke midfielder told RMC. "That's very good -- it will be two months before the Euros. I don't see any problem there unless there is a relapse.

"He has a big job to do during his rehabilitation."
