Gustaf Nilsson is still struggling with an Achilles tendon injury and Ferran Jutgla continues to be in a crisis of form. 20-year-old Romeo Vermant may therefore get his first starting spot in the Champions League against Celtic. The attacker has proven to be a hard worker and a useful pawn up front at Club Brugge in recent weeks.
Joel Ordonez normally returns to the starting line-up at the back. He did not start against STVV last weekend because he got some rest after the international break with Ecuador. Compared to the previous Champions League match against Aston Villa, Raphael Onyedika also returns. He served a matchday suspension after his red card against AC Milan, but can now be used again. Few surprises are therefore expected in Club’s starting eleven.
The probable eleven of Club Brugge: Mignolet, De Cuyper, Mechele, Ordonez, Seys, Onyedika, Jashari, Vanaken, Tzolis, Vermant, Skov Olsen.
