He is coming back from injury
Leander Dendoncker does not have the same rhythm as Rits and cannot string together matches. The fault lies in a complicated 2023-24 season without playing much and an arrival at Anderlecht disrupted by an injury. The Red Devil played with pain in his malleolus which forced him to rest. He needs to get back into shape before he can play every three days.
The pain is still present
After the tough duel against Porto, he admitted to having a little pain. Everything is under control, but we must remain careful so that the problem does not become more serious. David Hubert gives great importance to the physical freshness of his players.

He couldn’t have turned the match around
And then, what’s the point of throwing him in a game where the defensive base isn’t the biggest problem? Hubert preferred to launch Yari Verschaeren to try to turn the tide at 0-0, with his more offensive profile than that of Théo Leoni, established in midfield.
