Back for New Zealand clash
Doku (personal) travelled to London with the approval of the Belgian federation and team doctor to be present for the birth of his first son, and will rejoin the squad Tuesday evening in Seattle ahead of the crucial clash against New Zealand, the federation announced.
Analysis: Doku had already missed Sunday's goalless draw with Iran due to illness, and his personal absence raised questions over his availability for the New Zealand fixture. The winger's return to the squad on Tuesday evening gives coach Rudi Garcia a key attacking option back in contention for what promises to be a decisive group stage clash, with Belgium desperate to avoid a second consecutive group stage elimination at a World Cup. His presence on the right wing will be a significant boost as the Red Devils look to secure their place in the knockout rounds.
Out Sunday
Doku (illness) is out for Sunday's clash with Iran, Belgium announced.
Analysis: Doku is officially ruled out for Sunday's clash due to an illness that will put him out for the second match, but he could be back for a Friday clash with New Zealand. Doku's absence could bring Alexis Saelemaekers into the starting XI for Sunday's clash, with Trossard sliding over to the left wing.
