Winger Jeremy Doku has been ruled out of Belgium’s second World Cup group match against Iran at SoFi Stadium due to illness, the Belgian team announced on Saturday.
Rudi Garcia’s side face Iran on Sunday looking to build on an opening 1-1 draw with Egypt, but will do so without Manchester City player Doku.
“Due to illness, Jeremy Doku will not be part of the squad for our upcoming game against Iran,” Belgium posted on social media.
Doku started against Egypt but struggled to make an impact before being replaced by Matias Fernandez-Pardo in the 86th minute.
