## Key points

- Jeremy Doku is back in Belgium’s squad.
- Belgium face Turkey away and Italy at home.
- Josue Kongolo and Hugo Cuypers are among the call-ups.

## Summary

Jeremy Doku has returned to Belgium’s squad for its final two Nations League group matches against Turkey and Italy. His availability gives coach Mark van Bommel another attacking option as Belgium seek to build on six points from their first four Group A1 games.

Doku, who last represented Belgium at the World Cup, missed those Nations League fixtures after struggling with illness. The 26-man squad also includes first-time call-up Josue Kongolo and Mexico-based striker Hugo Cuypers; Koni De Winter was left out after declining a call-up. Belgium travel to Izmir on 12 November and host Italy in Brussels three days later.
