Mbo Mpenza is probably available for the important Champions League-match against Werder Bremen on Wednesday. Broos didn't take a decision yet, but it seems like he will choose for Baseggio and Zetterberg.

The players enjoyed their day off yesterday. Mbo Mpenza was the only exception. He did some individual running exercises, and will join the group today. Mbo, who had a thigh injury, really wants to be ready for the match against Werder Bremen on Wednesday. And that seems possible.

The match of Wednesday will be to early for Michal Zewlakow. He will be in the team, but will start on the bench. Vanden Borre played a strong match against Brussels Friday, so he will probably play again. Tihinen will start with his running exercises one of these days.

Broos doesn't want to say much about the team. But it's very likely that he will choose for one striker again against Bremen. Mbo would play on the right wing then, Wilhelmsson on the left and Baseggio-Zetterberg and Hasi would be in the center of the midfield. Franky Vercauteren told after Saturday's training that the Frenchman Fabrice Ehret recovers very slowly after the match on Friday.

Anderlecht will start the training today at 10 am, and Tuesday on 4 pm. After those trainings, they will go on isolation to Grimbergen.
