Standard already deplores several defections in defense. The list goes on and on.
If Standard’s defense is relatively reliable this season, Ivan Leko often has to scratch his head to form his rearguard.
This applies to outfield players, but also to the goalkeeper position. While he had resumed his starting place, Arnaud Bodart had in fact injured his adductors after his first two appearances of the season.
It is therefore Matthew Epolo who returned to his place between the poles for the last four matches of 2024, with more consistent performances to boot.
Bodart returns against Kortrijk
But SudInfo reports that it is now his turn to go through the infirmary. Epolo actually suffered a torn thigh during the last match in Mechelen, during which he kept zero.
The duration of his unavailability is still undetermined, but he is already unavailable for Friday’s match against Kortrijk. It is therefore Arnaud Bodart, who took advantage of the mini-truce to recover, who will de facto take his place.
