Belgium coach Roberto Martinez says Kevin de Bruyne's injury return will lift club and country.
De Bruyne hopes to be back for Manchester City over the next month after undergoing knee surgery.
Martinez said, "I think Kevin is a player that everyone would miss, the Belgian team will miss him and Manchester City will miss him, but that does not mean that it will affect him in a negative way.
"He is in a very good process of recovery, he will return sooner than expected.
"And his arrival can be a boost to both his club and his team."
