Jeremy Doku has returned to Belgium's squad just 24 hours after the birth of his son, rejoining the team in Seattle.

The Manchester City star had briefly left the camp to attend the birth of his child in London.

What happened?

Doku's wife Shireen gave birth to their son, and he managed to balance his international football commitments with the new addition to his family.

He missed Belgium's 0-0 draw against Iran on Sunday due to illness, but his return is a significant boost to the team.

The return of Doku provides a massive boost to Belgium's camp as they prepare for a must-win group stage finale against New Zealand on June 26.

Belgium needs a win to advance in the FIFA World Cup 2026, and Doku's presence will be crucial to their chances.

What comes next?

Doku will look to make an immediate impact on the team, and his return will be a welcome addition to the squad.

The match against New Zealand will be a challenging one, but with Doku back in the team, Belgium will be confident of getting the win they need.

And the team's preparation for the match will be key to their success.

But Doku's return is not just a boost to the team, it also shows his commitment to his country and his ability to balance his personal and professional life.

So the focus will now be on the match against New Zealand, and how Doku can help his team get the win they need.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is an important tournament for Belgium, and Doku's return will be a significant factor in their chances of success.
