Belgium have received a major boost ahead of their UEFA Nations League encounter against Turkey after Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku returned to the national team squad following an injury absence. Head coach Mark van Bommel confirmed that Doku is fit and available for Belgium’s final two Group A1 matches against Turkey on Thursday and Italy on Sunday. The winger missed Belgium’s opening four matches in the Nations League campaign during September and October because of injury. His return provides the coach with additional attacking options as the team prepares for two important fixtures. However, Belgium will be without their record goalscorer Romelu Lukaku for the meeting against Turkey after the striker experienced a hip problem during training. Van Bommel said Lukaku was still able to train, but both the player and the technical bench agreed that he should not be included in the line-up against Turkey. The coach hopes the striker will recover in time for Sunday’s match against Italy. Belgium are currently third in Group A1 with six points, behind France on 10 and Italy on seven. The return of Doku offers an attacking boost, but Lukaku’s absence presents a selection challenge as Belgium attempt to strengthen their position in the group.
