Injured trio fit faster than expected

INJURIES Good news from the infirmary. First, Sunday's game against Union claimed no new casualties. Second, Thomas Delaney and Killian Sardella will be fit again sooner than initially thought. Ludwig Augustinsson is also close to being employable again.

"It's hard to say how fast it will be, but both Augustinsson, Delaney and Sardella are entering the final stage of their rehabilitation," he said. Against Charleroi (Feb. 11) or against STVV (Feb. 18) they might be deployable again," Brian Riemer said on his press call this afternoon.

Especially for the defense, this is good news. Riemer informed that Purple White will not recruit an additional defender after Federico Gattoni. "At left back we already have Augustinsson and N'Diaye," the coach said. He sees no need to bring in another left back. "Jan Vertonghen can deputize there if needed. Gattoni can then play again at right back as well."
