TRANSFERS – OTHER Anderlecht wants to welcome Cesar Huerta this week. The Mexican could then soon make his debut in the Belgian championship, but would not be able to participate in the next two European matches against Viktoria Plzn and Hoffenheim. Players recruited during this transfer window can only be fielded after the championship phase of the Europa League.
The official Cesar Huerta presentation is expected at the end of the week.

Europa League without new players
In Europe, player lists can only be changed after the last match of the league stage, with the deadline being February 6. The Mauve et Blanc must still face Viktoria Plzn on January 23 and Hoffenheim at home on January 30 in this championship phase. The Brussels residents, currently third in the standings, will then try to secure their place in the top 8 and thus skip the intermediate round towards the quarter-finals. To do this, we will have to ignore winter transfers.
Only three new names will be able to play in the Europa League
Fortunately, from the intermediate round onwards, newcomers are allowed to participate in the Europa League. But there is another restriction. Only three new names can be added to the renewed European list. If Anderlecht recruits four reinforcements this month – in an ideal world, which cannot be ruled out – it will have to disappoint an acquisition. He will then not be allowed to compete in Europe.
