Kompany doesn't train, but will probably play

Kompany didn't train yesterday. He just did some individual running exercises, and will resume the training today. "I am optimistically", said Vercauteren.


But the chance is very likely that Vincent Kompany will play tomorrow. If he wouldn't play, Anderlecht will have defensive problems. De Man and Traoré (who sat on the bench with an injury last week) are out. Hasi is an alternative, just like the youngster Timothy Derijck.
"I'm ready to play", stated Besnik Hasi. "I played on that position when Antheunis was coach. But I assume that Kompany will play."

Goran Lovré was ill yesterday. He will resume today. Vercauteren didn't want to confirm that he will play with four strikers tomorrow. After the training behind close doors the group will go to Grimbergen.

Simons will play with Club Bruges. Lange wasn't able to train. There is few chance that he will play.
