Van Damme: "Not playing is boring me"

Jelle Van Damme hopes to play again against KV Mechelen on Friday. Yesterdardy he already played one hour with the B-team. It was a choice I made, not to play a full game. I did not feel any pain.”

Since the beginning of December the leftback has been out with an ankle injury. “It was my longest rehabilitation up until now,” says Van Damme. “I’ve been operated on before, but this was the hardest one.”

Friday he wants to have his place in the team again. “I’m going to train very well for the last 4 times this week. I’ve seen enough games, I want to play now.”
