Belgium confirmed their Group G World Cup starting XI for June 15 against Egypt, with Kevin De Bruyne, Jérémy Doku, Mohamed Salah and Ramadan Marmoush all named in the lineup. The match kicks off at 22:00 local time.
Doku's participation had been in question after reports indicated his wife's imminent due date could sideline him from the tournament. His confirmation in the starting XI now settles doubts about Belgium's attacking personnel for this opener.
Both Belgium and Egypt seek to establish early momentum in Group G, with the match representing both nations' first fixture of the tournament.
Doku's availability was previously uncertain due to personal circumstances; his confirmation in the starting lineup strengthens assessments of Belgium's attacking depth and goal-scoring probability, reflecting the team's complete attacking options.
