Jeremy Doku is set to rejoin the Belgium squad and will be available for their crucial final group stage match at the FIFA World Cup against New Zealand. The 24-year-old winger made an urgent trip back to London for the birth of his first child, which caused him to miss Sunday's goalless draw against Iran in Los Angeles. Belgium currently sits third in Group G after drawing their opening two fixtures against Egypt and Iran, and they now require a mandatory win to secure progression to the knockout stages.
"Congratulations to Jeremy Doku and his family on the birth of his first son. With permission, he traveled to London with one of the team doctors to be present for this special moment. Jeremy will rejoin the squad on Tuesday evening in Seattle and will resume preparations for the match against New Zealand," announced the Belgian Football Federation.
Belgium will face New Zealand on Friday in Vancouver.
