Belgium have received a boost with the return of Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku to their squad for upcoming Nations League fixtures. Doku missed the opening four matches of the campaign in September and October as he recovered from an injury sustained during the club season.
The 22-year-old's availability provides Belgium with additional attacking options as they look to maintain their competitive standing in the Nations League. Doku has become an integral part of both club and country, contributing significantly to Manchester City's attacking play.
However, Belgium face a setback with the absence of striker Romelu Lukaku, who has been ruled out by a hip injury. The veteran forward's unavailability represents a significant loss to the squad's firepower during this international window.
The squad adjustments reflect the ongoing challenges international teams face in managing player fitness during congested fixture schedules. Belgium will look to compensate for Lukaku's absence while benefiting from Doku's return as they prepare for their upcoming matches.
