Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne has said that England and France are favouritesto win the Euro Cup 2020.

Especially England after the arrival ofpromising teenagers like Phil Foden and Callum Hudson-Odoi.

"I told the England guys a week ago that you should win the Euros," De Bruyne told British media.

"I think they are favourites, with France.

"I see the guys already established, and those coming up, so the future looks really good."

Manchester City academy graduate Foden made his first Premier League start alongside De Bruyne on Wednesday, while winger Hudson-Odoi was given a full league debut for Chelsea, and the Belgian has been impressed with England's young talent.

While Hudson-Odoi has made his England debut, featuring against the Czech Republic and Montenegro last month, Foden has yet to receive a call-up and De Bruyne sees no reason for England manager Gareth Southgate to rush the 18-year-old into the international set-up.

"Give him time," he said.

"It's not because you play some games, and start a game, that you have to go into the national team ... If Phil progresses well, he has a chance to go to the Euros next year. He will play enough games for England."
