Belgium coach Martinez confident De Bruyne committed to Man City

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez expects Kevin de Bruyne to stay with Manchester City - despite their UEFA ban.

Martinez claims the midfielder will remain at Manchester City beyond this summer despite the impending European ban.

"Kevin de Bruyne is committed to the project of Manchester City," Martinez said on beIN SPORTS.

“So we don't know what's going to happen, the ban maybe will be [reduced] to one year.

“I think two years will have big implications to Manchester City.

“But I think it's too early, I don't think everyone is thinking to their futures just yet.

“They're playing an important game today [against Leicester], they play against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

“I think the time of talking about the future of the players will be after all those competitions are clear."
