Vanhaezebrouck: "Onyekuru is still scared"

INJURIES No Henry Onyekuru on the bench yesterday against AA Gent. The Nigerian played twice with the U21 after his knee injury, but according to Hein Vanhaezebrouck he has to take steps. "He is not yet ready to play at this level, he does not dare to go into the duels yet."


The Nigerian website Score Nigeria has a different explanation for this. According to them, Onyekuru needs the World Cup to get a work permit for England. Anderlecht, according to this website, would deliberately not let Onyekuru play, in order to keep him in the coming season.
