High-Profile Belgium Stars 'Clash' In Dressing Room

High-Profile Belgium Stars 'Clash' In Dressing Room

Kevin De Bruyne, Eden Hazard and Jan Vertonghen were reportedly involved in a heated altercation following Belgium's loss to Morocco at the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Sunday.

According to RTL Sport, the Red Devils' 2-0 defeat to the Atlas Lions at the weekend was followed by a dressing room bust-up involving three of the nation's most high-profile footballers. 

Tensions appeared to boil over after recent public comments made by Manchester City star De Bruyne, who bizarrely suggested that Belgium's best chance to win the World Cup was in 2018, remarks that did not sit well with Belgian press. 

The experienced Vertonghen, speaking after their match against the African giants, used his opportunity to point fingers back at De Bruyne and his attacking teammates.

It is claimed record goalscorer Romelu Lukaku was forced to pull his colleagues apart in an attempt to calm the situation down, with it also reported that De Bruyne and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois have not spoken in years due to personal issues.

Belgium's "golden generation" went into the Qatar World Cup tipped by many to be dark horses for the trophy, but are now on the brink of an early elimination following their defeat at the weekend.

Roberto Martinez's side will need to claim three points against Group F leaders Croatia on Thursday to give themselves a chance of progressing, with their opponents tied on four points with Morocco.
