The Belgian star left the national team because of the birth of his son

Jeremy Doku, a top player for the Belgian national football team, has temporarily left the squad due to a respiratory infection. The Belgium Football Association announced that Doku was in London for the birth of his son, but clarified that his absence from the match against Iran was due to illness rather than family reasons. Doku, who plays for Manchester City, is expected to rejoin the team in Seattle later that evening. Belgium currently has two points after two group matches at the World Cup, with Egypt leading the group with four points. A crucial upcoming match against New Zealand will determine Belgium's progression to the knockout stage.

The Belgian Football Association confirmed that Doku would return to the team in Seattle on Tuesday evening.
