Luckassen also has an injury

INJURIES While the C-team is bulging with the central defenders, the A-team becomes a source of concern. Kompany stopped, Cobbaut broke an ankle and Derrick Luckassen also has injuries. The Dutchman has been struggling with the hamstrings for a while. "But I try to manage it."


"When sprinting I can feel it on the left hamstrings, but I try to manage it a bit so that I can play well with it", Luckassen said after Ostend - Anderlecht.

With Killian Sardella and Hannes Delcroix, the first team still has three fit defenders. But Delcroix only played 45 minutes for the first team, in August 2018. Marco Kana appears to be playing as the controlling midfielder this season.

With Josué Sa, Ognjen Vranjes, Bubacarr Sanneh, James Lawrence and Antonio Milic, there are no fewer than five central defenders on the departing list. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, only Milic can hope for a new chance.
