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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.
