"One of the strongest footballers in the world" – High praise as Manchester City star demonstrates talent

De Ketelaere praised Doku after Belgium's 2-1 win over Türkiye, calling him one of the world's strongest footballers in one-on-one situations.

Jeremy Doku impressed for Belgium in a 2-1 victory over Türkiye, providing the assist for Kevin de Bruyne's equaliser and initiating the move for Charles de Ketelaere's winning goal. It was Doku's first international appearance since the World Cup.

De Ketelaere was effusive in his praise after the match, telling Sporza: "In one-on-one situations, he is one of the strongest footballers in the world." The Manchester City forward's ability to take on and beat opponents creates space for teammates, according to his Belgian colleague.

Doku has managed only one goal and one assist in 10 games across all competitions this season and is still working back to full fitness after a calf injury that caused him to miss the start of the campaign. Manchester City will hope the strong international performance provides momentum as the forward seeks to rediscover his form.
