De Bruyne scored twice in Belgium's 3-0 win over Türkiye on matchday three of the Nations League, but was booked in the 80th minute, his second caution of this international window.

Tielemans, Belgium's captain, was shown a yellow around the half-hour mark, having already been booked against France in Monday's 0-1 defeat earlier in the window.

Both midfielders have started each of the first three matches under Mark Van Bommel.
