Jérémy Doku

Analysis: Doku was back in the starting XI for Belgium after a bench role against the USA, with the attacker playing the full 90 against Spain. He would bag a chance created, two crosses, four completed dribbles and won 10 duels. However, he would once again fail to earn a goal contribution, ending his World Cup with zero in his five appearances (four starts). That said, he had a bit of a rough World Cup for his standards, likely ready to rejoin City for the league season.

Comes off the bench against USA

Doku drew three fouls, completed eight passes and created one scoring chance in 23 minutes in Monday's 4-1 victory over USA.

Analysis: Doku was deployed as a sub for the first time in the competition following a subdued performance against Senegal, and Dodi Lukebakio had a quality display in relief. He might have to fight for minutes going forward. He has recorded three shots (one on target), four chances created and four crosses (two accurate) so far, with no goal contributions.
