Anderlecht will take on KAA Gent at home at 6:30 PM, the team they have found very difficult to beat in recent years. The Purple & White is missing one player who was declared fit.
David Hubert said on Friday that both Leander Dendoncker and Ludwig Augustinsson were fit, but there is no trace of the Swede in the selection. Included: Amando Lapage and Nilson Angulo, who played with the reserves yesterday.
In addition to the long-term injured Hazard, Vertonghen and Ashimeru, Hubert has his entire group at his disposal. Dendoncker will probably move to midfield again.
Good news for Wouter Vrancken: he can count on Mitrovic and Kums again. However, it is doubtful whether they will immediately be in the starting line-up, given the team’s strong performance against Standard before the international break, when they were absent.
The Ghent coach, on the other hand, has to waive Gambor, Vancsa, Nurio, Varela and Omgba. And of course also from Noah Fadiga, who is recovering peacefully after heart problems.
“Noah returned to the club for the first time today (edit: Friday),” Vrancken explained during the press conference. “His recovery is going smoothly. He is still suffering from his operation and is bothered by the slightest movement. In the coming weeks he will mainly have to rest his body, but he remains very positive.”
