Why Rutten puts Saelemaekers on the bench now?

OTHER He was one of Hein Vanhaezebrouck's favorite players, but under Fred Rutten Alexis Saelemaekers has to make peace with a place as a substitute. Asked for an explanation, the Anderlecht coach came with a simple explanation.


"Anderlecht won the last match before the winter break and then he did not play," Rutten said. "I made a good analysis of what I saw during the weeks before we played our first game, and for that match (at Ghent, ed.) I chose who was the best at the time."
