BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The playmaking abilities of a fit-again Kevin De Bruyne, who has made a strong recovery from a knee injury, will be key to Belgium’s hopes of success at the European Championship.

De Bruyne, who will celebrate his 25th birthday during the tournament in France, has turned in a series of impressive performances for Manchester City since returning from injury at the start of April and, together with Eden Hazard, presents a dynamic attacking force for the Red Devils. A teenager when he made his international debut, De Bruyne is delivering on the potential first spotted at Racing Genk, where he was a regular in the team that won the championship in 2011.
