Jeremy Doku has been named in Sofascore's Europa League team of the week after his outstanding performance for Stade Rennais in the playoff round.

Doku provided an assist in Stade Rennais 2-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League on Thursday night.

In the first leg of the Round 32 encounter between the two clubs, the talented attacker started for Stade Rennais FC.

Unfortunately, his team ended the 90 minutes on the losing side of an exciting contest.

In today’s game, Shakhtar Donetsk took a deserved lead in the 11th minute when Dmytro Kryskiv found the back of the Stade Rennais net with a fantastic effort.

Late in the first half, the home team was awarded a penalty kick and a chance to double their lead.

Talisman Artem Bondarenko accepted the responsibility from 12 yards and scored to make it 2-0 for his side before the break.

In a second half that saw the French Ligue 1 club putting on a spirited effort, Jeremy Doku was the star.

He assisted Karl Toko Ekambi for Stade Rennais FC's only goal of the game in the 59th minute as the match ended 2-1 in favour of Shakhtar Donetsk.

The second leg of the Europa League clash will be played a week from today.

Below is the team of the week:
