Peersman uncertain

Tristan Peersman is uncertain for the match against FC Brussels. The goalkeeper got injured on his hip during the training on Wednesday, he didn't train yesterday. Broos will take a decision about him today.


Zitka played one half with the reserve team yesterday evening, because they don't want to take any risks. If the Czech joins the starting line-up, because of Peersman's injury, there is a chance that there won't be a second goalkeeper on the bench. Third goalkeeper Jan Van Steenberghe is injured, and Kevin Van Den Noortgaete (18) is unexperienced.

Broos will play in a 4-5-1 formation tonight. Baseggio and Zetterberg will both start the match. It's very likely that Yves Vanderhaeghe will be the defensive midfielder, he will probably replace Besnik Hasi, who returned yesterday evening from Albania. Christian Wilhelmsson returned from Sweden yesterday, they both are fit but Hugo Broos will talk to them today to see if they are ready. If Wilhelmsson doesn't play, Fabrice Ehret will play on the left wing for the first time this season in an official match.

Mbo Mpenza will be ready for the Champions League match against Werder Bremen on Wednesday, after his thigh injury. Zewlakow will not be available. He will resume the training on Monday. Broos expects Nenad Jestrovic, who has an arm fracture, to be back in the middle of November.
