Belgium’s difficult World Cup campaign has taken another twist, with Jeremy Doku finding himself at the centre of a fierce debate.
The Manchester City winger revealed he could leave Belgium’s squad if the birth of his first child clashes with the tournament. Doku said he wants to support his wife, Shireen, during the milestone moment.
His comments triggered strong reactions across Belgium and France. One journalist described childbirth as a moment where fathers are “useless” before later apologising.
Others backed Doku, including England striker Ollie Watkins, who called the birth of a first child a blessing, according to Tribuna.
