Belgium and Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has returned to the national team camp after taking time away to be present for the birth of his son, Praise.

Doku’s decision attracted mixed reactions during the tournament. While some players, pundits and fans supported his choice to prioritize a major family moment, others questioned whether a player should leave camp during a FIFA World Cup.
