Doku and De Ketelare two of four to pull out of Belgium squad for Nations League matches
Charles De Ketelaere, Jeremy Doku, Malick Fofana and Joaquin Seys are all out with injuries with Samuel Mbangula, Arthur Vermeeren, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Killian Sardella called up in their place, officials said on Monday.
The 19-year-old Seys was carried off with a leg injury playing for Club Brugge at the weekend and misses out on his first call-up.
The 20-year-old winger Mbangula, who made his debut at Juventus this season after coming through their junior ranks, is new to the squad as is Sardella, the Anderlecht right back.
Teenager Vermeeren, who plays at RB Leipzig, has already won four caps and Sevilla striker Sambi Lokonga has a single appearance for Belgium but was last called up in March 2022.
Belgium are third in Group A2, six points behind leaders Italy and five adrift of second-placed France. They must win their last two games and hope other results go their way if they are to advance to the quarter-finals.
