Hassan and Tchité on the bench for first game?

The team is in Spain for the moment. Tchité and Hassan joined the squad later. Tchité missed his flight, Hassan showed up a day later. "You know when they leave, but you never know when they return", Vercauteren said.


"They'll have to work harder than the rest and I certainly want to hear their excuses", Vercauteren continued.

Also manager Herman Van Holsbeeck agreed with the coach: "He asked if he could return on the 4th. I said no. Whoever comes late, can sit on the bench for the first game."
