At Lotto Park these days, all eyes are on the infirmary, which is packed. David Hubert hopes to recover some pawns. But dark clouds also hang over Anderlecht.
Killian Sardella and Samuel Edozie could be back on their feet in time for Sunday’s trip to Sint-Truiden, where Tristan Degreef could also make his return. Furthermore, Thorgan Hazard hopes to celebrate his return during the year.
Doubts about Vertonghen
As of now, there is no news from Yari Verschaeren, who, like Majeed Ashimeru and Mario Stroeykens, could be out at least until the end of the year. Normally, Jan Vertonghen will then be back. Unless that’s not the case?
Het Nieuwsblad has already repeatedly expressed its doubts about the 37-year-old captain’s return to play. Indeed, the question is whether it will ever be the same again.
Renard seeks replacement
Brussels supporters do not seem particularly reassured. In a poll published on our website, 67% of around two thousand voters indicated that they no longer believed in Vertonghen. Two thirds of them therefore no longer count on the experienced defender.
One wonders if Vertonghen, who seems to want to end his career after this season, can prove them wrong. Regardless, Olivier Renard will look to strengthen the heart of the defense in January. Also in the short term?
