Belgium get Doku back but Lukaku out with hip problem
Jeremy Doku has returned to Belgium’s squad for their final two Nations League group matches, giving coach Mark van Bommel more choice on the wings. His availability comes as Belgium try to secure a top-two finish and reach the quarter-finals.
Romelu Lukaku will miss Thursday’s match against Turkey because of a hip problem, although he can still train. Van Bommel hopes the record goalscorer will be fit for Sunday’s game against Italy; Belgium have six points, behind France on 10 and Italy on seven.
In short
- Doku is back in Belgium’s squad after injury.
- Lukaku is out against Turkey with a hip problem.
- Belgium need a top-two finish to reach the quarter-finals.
