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.
Struggles to influence match
Doku had one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Egypt.
Analysis: Doku had a difficult evening as the left winger in Monday's 1-1 draw with Egypt at Seattle Stadium, registering just one shot off-target and one inaccurate cross while losing the majority of his duels against an Egyptian backline that was physically disciplined and well-organized throughout. The Manchester City winger was unable to find the space and pace he needs to be at his most dangerous, with Egypt's defensive structure repeatedly cutting off his inside runs and limiting his influence to occasional flashes that never translated into clear-cut opportunities. His directness and ability to take on defenders at pace remain Belgium's most explosive wide weapon, and unlocking those qualities against a deeper defensive block will be a key tactical priority heading into their next group fixture against Iran.
