Doku has rejoined the team now and is back with his teammates.
But he has again gotten the support from Thielmans, for example, who has spoken out in support of him.
But it's also probably worth noting as well, not that this I think would have made a difference,
But Doku had been out sick as well with a respiratory illness and that he wasn't going to play anyway.
Now, maybe part of their familial plan was for him to visit his wife and be with his wife during it.
But this has sparked a whole series of accusations about lack of loyalty to Belgium.
Doku is from an immigrant family, for example, so there's thrown up some race questions around that.
There's thrown up...
Racist questions.
Racist questions, indeed.
And they have also thrown up kind of masculinity questions and whether or not he should have been there.
The toxic masculinity in relation to it.
I think you look at it, Docu did what I think many of us would do and want to do.
And the criticism is totally out of order.
It does contrast interestingly to Leo Ostergaard, who was a Norwegian centre-back who watched his wife give birth over a video call.
And what I found interesting there was that he described himself as exhausted after it.
Oh, the poor lad.
And the challenge I think sometimes with elite sport is that it has a long suffocating history of treating the athlete as a commodity rather than a human being.
And that what we are seeing here as we're discussing is a young man going home to be with his young wife who is having their first child.
What's unnatural or wrong about that?
