Dimata out for 5 months if he opts for surgery

INJURIES Manager Michael Verschueren and doctor Kristof Sas had a meeting with Landry Dimata this week to discuss the different options for his painful knee. If he chooses for an operation, then Dimata is out for five months. Nevertheless, chances are big that the striker will go under the knife.


Anderlecht leave the choice to Dimata himself, but he is tired of the pain and limitations. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, he prefers to get surgery.

Then the question is: when? If Dimata goes under the knife now, he can pick in July when preparation for the new season starts. If the operation is postponed until after the season, Dimata can only play football again in September. He'll miss the European Championship for U21 in July anyway.

Today or tomorrow the decision would be made.
