Jeremy Doku - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Completes four dribbles Doku generated two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 loss to Spain.

Impact Doku was back in the starting XI for Belgium after a bench role against the USA, with the attacker playing the full 90 against Spain. He would bag a chance created, two crosses, four completed dribbles and won 10 duels. However, he would once again fail to earn a goal contribution, ending his World Cup with zero in his five appearances (four starts). That said, he had a bit of a rough World Cup for his standards, likely ready to rejoin City for the league season.

Comes off the bench against USA Doku drew three fouls, completed eight passes and created one scoring chance in 23 minutes in Monday's 4-1 victory over USA.

Impact Doku was deployed as a sub for the first time in the competition following a subdued performance against Senegal, and Dodi Lukebakio had a quality display in relief. He might have to fight for minutes going forward. He has recorded three shots (one on target), four chances created and four crosses (two accurate) so far, with no goal contributions.

Struggles against Senegal Doku recorded two crosses (one accurate) in Wednesday's 3-2 win against Senegal.

Impact Doku would not have the match he wanted Wednesday, as the speed and physicality of Senegal proved to match his capabilities well. He would only record two crosses before leaving the field, subbed off after 56 minutes. The pacey and skilful Manchester City winger is yet to score a goal contribution this World Cup, something he will hope to change in the round of 16.

Two chances created in return Doku had two shots (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 5-1 victory over New Zealand.

Impact Doku returned to Belgium's starting XI after missing Sunday's scoreless draw with Iran, having briefly traveled to London for the birth of his first child before rejoining the squad ahead of Friday's must-win finale. He recorded two shots (one on target) and created two chances, providing his trademark pace and directness before making way for Matias Fernandez-Pardo in the second half with Belgium firmly in control. The Red Devils wrapped up a dominant 5-1 victory to finish atop Group G and punch their ticket to the Round of 32.

Starting against New Zealand Doku (illness) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against New Zealand.

Impact Doku was expected to start on the bench after dealing with an illness and not being 100 percent, but will instead start from the jump, with the forward given the starting role on the left flank. He will be a major part of the game plan for Belgium, as he is their best attacker and will be the center point of most attacks. He is still in search of a goal contribution this World Cup after missing the second game due to the birth of his child, hoping to earn his first Friday as he looks to help Belgium through to the knockouts.

Impact Doku returned to the squad after missing Sunday's scoreless draw against Iran for personal reasons, giving Belgium another explosive attacking weapon ahead of the decisive group-stage finale against New Zealand. Coach Rudi Garcia is expected to use him as a game-changing option off the bench rather than in the starting XI, as he continues to build back to full fitness after dealing with breathing issues earlier in the tournament.

Impact Doku had already missed Sunday's goalless draw with Iran due to illness, and his personal absence raised questions over his availability for the New Zealand fixture. The winger's return to the squad on Tuesday evening gives coach Rudi Garcia a key attacking option back in contention for what promises to be a decisive group stage clash, with Belgium desperate to avoid a second consecutive group stage elimination at a World Cup. His presence on the right wing will be a significant boost as the Red Devils look to secure their place in the knockout rounds.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Exits training early with concern Doku was forced to cut short Belgium's training session early after feeling some discomfort, though the concern is not expected to be serious. according to HLN

Impact Doku left the session before the hour mark and headed inside for treatment during Belgium's first full training session on American soil. The discomfort is however not expected to be significant, with the winger anticipated to return to group training quickly, possibly as early as the following day. Belgium's opening World Cup fixture against Egypt is not considered at risk, which will come as a relief given Doku's importance to the side.

JUNE 10 • ROTOWIRE

Electric winger for Belgium Doku has been named in Belgium's World Cup squad and figures to be one of the tournament's most entertaining and dangerous wide players.

Impact Doku has been a constant menace throughout the season with Manchester City, contributing seven goals and 11 assists alongside 86 key passes across 44 appearances including 30 starts. His ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations at blistering pace makes him a nightmare to contain, and his capacity to unlock a game in an instant through sheer individual brilliance sets him apart from most wide players in the world. The Belgian winger consistently draws fouls, creates space for teammates and generates high-quality chances, making him a premium asset. Doku is one of the cornerstones of coach Rudi Garcia's attacking setup, bringing the unpredictability and direct running that defenses struggle to plan. Belgium will look to him as a game-changer capable of producing moments of magic, and his combination of speed, technique and end product makes him one of the most dangerous wide options at the entire tournament.

Impact Doku looked unstoppable again as he took the field Saturday, putting in another signature game from the flank as his dribbling and speed continue to be too much for a Premier League defense. He would start the scoring for City in the 60th minute, scoring on yet another curler from the left corner of the box for a third straight match with a goal, earning four goals during that span. He has now hit 10 goal contributions on the season in 27 appearances (18 starts), notching five goals and five assists.
