Belgium coach Rudi Garcia has acknowledged that winger Jeremy Doku has not yet fully entered the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 'Jeremy Doku hasn't really gotten into his tournament yet, that's undeniable,' Garcia said, as reported by Belgian media.
Doku, 24, plays for Manchester City and has 45 caps and 7 goals for Belgium. He was highly anticipated in the tournament but has struggled to make an impact in the group stage. Belgium faces Senegal in a crucial match on July 1, 2026, with both teams needing a win to advance.
Senegal's Sadio Mane, 34, who plays for Al Nassr, has also been below his best. The former Liverpool star has 40 goals in 110 caps for Senegal. Both players are expected to be key in the match, which could determine their teams' fate in the tournament.
The match is part of the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Belgium and Senegal are in Group H, with the top two teams advancing to the knockout stage.
