Mathieu Cornet started the season strong with Rochefort. But he will have to play billiards and miss the rest of the competition.
It’s a real disaster for Union Rochefortoise: its favorite attacker Matthew Cornet tore his cruciate ligaments and will probably not play again for the season. Examinations confirmed the news after his premature exit against the U23s of Sporting Charleroi.
With 6 goals in 6 games, the former RWDM, Mechelen, Antwerp and Roeselare player (among others) was one of the architects of the team’s rise to power. The Rochefortois were counting on him to grow in the competition but also to bring all his experience in the Belgian Cup to the gala match at La Gantoise.

“The cruciate ligaments are torn and the meniscus is also affected. I will be out for 7 to 9 months. I will have surgery on October 15. Until then, I will do some strengthening and physiotherapy” confirms the co-top scorer of D1 ACFF at La Derniere Heure.
Author of 21 goals last season, the 34-year-old Namur striker is one of the darlings of Parc des Roches. He will now face a long ordeal.
