Anderlecht probably won't be able to call up Francis Amuzu this season. The ward had been suffering from pubic pain for a long time. The medical staff tried to solve this problem with gentle treatment, but that did not work. Now he has to go under the knife.
Amuzu seemed to be on his way back, but after the match against Standard he suffered a setback. “We worked with specialists in Belgium and England, but it did not happen as we had hoped,” Brian Rimmer said. “He's been gone for a long time. I can't say how long, but it's a very long time. But we had no choice.”
Thorgan Hazard won't be around again on Saturday. “This is a crazy situation. He was finally ready and now he has the flu. I hope he will be there against Cercle Brugge.”
Lapage and Licenses are options
Jan Vertonghen is also not quite fit. He was injured in the 93rd minute against Antwerp. “He trained yesterday, but he is still suffering. He will be on the verge of being there. We have to be careful with him, because we still need him until May. We will not risk his health.”
He also gave Rimmer his options, because there weren't many left. “We can play with the two full-backs who will move into the midfield. That would be Sardella and Ndiaye. Or we can play with the two young players, LePage and Lessens. Or we can bring back a midfielder.”
