Aruna doesn't turn up again

Ivorian striker Aruna Dindane didn't turn up again. It's the third day in a row that he doesn't show up. The board of Anderlecht doesn't know what to do anymore. He certainly won't play against AA Ghent.


All players were supposed to be present at 10.30 am at the stadium today. But again, no sign of Aruna Dindane. Hugo Broos reacted very disappointed. He didn't have contact with the striker this morning. Broos expected the striker to come, but he didn't appear. The coach said he wants the board to take measures, because they can't accept this kind of behaviour. Everyone was here on time, except for Aruna. That's a serious mistake. He can't play against AA Ghent now, and that will cost him money.

But not everyone has the same opinion in this case. "Aruna Dindane did so much for us", said defender Olivier Deschacht. "He helped us for the qualification for the Champions League."

Aruna Dindane's manager, Serge Trimpont, was very clear: "If Anderlecht don't let him leave, we will have to take juridical actions." Aruna can pay redemption money, but that will cost him a lot.

At 11.30 am, the buss left the stadium and went to Grimbergen for the preparation for the match against AA Ghent tonight. Without Aruna of course... It certainly isn't the end of this story yet...
