The Bruges club announces a very bad news: Simon Mignolet is absent for the club’s next club match and is uncertain for the Belgian Cup final.
The Bruges club will not be able to count on its goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in Thursday’s match against the Gantoise in Champions’ Playoffs. Brugeois coach Nicky Hayen confirmed at a press conference on Wednesday that the goalkeeper is not available.
“Tomorrow is still a little too early for Simon. He does not feel 100 percent. We work with him day by day to weekend“Said Hayen, in reference to the final of the Sunday Cup on Sunday (May 4) against Anderlecht.
Mignolet had missed the second duel against the Union Saint-Gilloise (0-0) last weekend due to chest pain. Three days earlier, in the first match against the Brussels residents (0-1 defeat), he collided with the Promised Union striker David. Nordin Jackers had taken its place in order.
Captain Hans Vanaken, who suffers from the ankle, is able to play, assured Hayen.
The club receives the Gantoise Thursday (4:00 p.m.) for the seventh day of the Champions’ Playoffs. In case of success, the defending champion will temporarily exceed the Union, which competes for the shock against Genk on Saturday. Simon Mignolet FC Bruges
