Will Boussoufa play tonight?

In the last few weeks, a lot have been written about the Ramadan and Anderlecht's Muslim players performing weakly. Doctor Goossens explains: "By not eating, the sugar level in your blood goes down, causing lack of explosivity."


But Hassan and Boussoufa are thinking differently.
Hassan: "I've been a professional football player for 15 years and I never had problems with it."

Boussoufa: "I played my best games during the Ramadan. My faith gives me strength."

Vercauteren finds it 'a serious problem', but respects the Muslim traditions. "It's not an excuse for not lining them up", he said.
