FIFA 21 Cover Star Has Reportedly Leaked Online Ahead Of EA Play Live

Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has been named as a potential cover star for the upcoming FIFA 21, according to early rumours.

The 28-year-old Belgian midfielder has been in scintillating form for his club and is one of the frontrunners for Premier League Player of the Season.

And now rumours have suggested that De Bruyne could follow in the same footsteps as Virgil van Dijk and Eden Hazard by becoming a FIFA cover star.

Twitter users FutSpy and CareerModeStars, both of whom focus on FIFA content, claim that the Belgium international is the rumoured FIFA 21 cover star.

EA Sports has confirmed that FIFA 21 would not be delayed due to the impact of the coronavirus.

The FIFA publisher will show off the first look at FIFA 21 later today at EA Play Live.

EA's gaming extravaganza event was initially scheduled for 11th June, but the publisher delayed the show due to widespread protests around the world.

"With the important conversations taking place and important voices being heard around the world right now, we're moving our time to come together in play," EA tweeted earlier this month.

"We'll see you at EA PLAY Live 2020 on June 18 at 4pm PDT/7pm EDT."

EA Sports has since confirmed that news on FIFA 21's features, ranging from Ultimate Team to career mode, will be revealed in August.
