Kevin De Bruyne was furious with the pitch Belgium played on against Bosnia-Herzegovina, saying he feared he would get injured.

Belgium star Kevin De Bruyne slammed the pitch in Sarajevo as "unacceptable" after his side edged Bosnia-Herzegovina in World Cup qualifying.

A late winner from Yannick Carrasco saw Belgium to a 4-3 victory at the Stadion Grbavica on Saturday.

"I was worried I'd get injured," the Manchester City attacker said.

"This was unacceptable. I don't understand how we could play on such a pitch.

"Last time I played on such a bad pitch was when I was a seven-year-old kid."

The result was a blow to Bosnia-Herzegovina, who fell to third – behind Greece – with one match remaining.
