Jeremy Doku Out for Belgium's Match Against Iran

Belgium's national football team faces a setback as winger Jeremy Doku will not participate in their FIFA World Cup group match against Iran due to a respiratory illness. Doku, who is 24 years old, has been experiencing chest complaints that have hindered his training.

Despite efforts to recover, he continues to feel the effects of his illness and is deemed unfit for the match. The Belgian medical professionals are administering antibiotics to ensure he does not jeopardize his health further.

The team's coach confirmed that Doku's improvement is not sufficient for match fitness, but there is hope he will be ready to play in the concluding group match against New Zealand the following Saturday. This situation poses a challenge for Belgium as they seek success against Iran, especially given Doku's potential contributions to the team's attacking talent.
