This weekend, there is a tough match between KRC Genk and RSC Anderlecht. The Purple & White will then attempt to retain their leading position in the Jupiler Pro League. This must be done without a number of powerful holders.
There will be no more talk about Thorgan Hazard in 2024, which has now been confirmed by coach Brian Remer. And there is more bad news reported by the Danish coach of RSC Anderlecht. He referred to this in his press conference.
Jari Verschauren is also not yet ready to meet Genk. He was one of the potential replacements for Hazard. He added: “He is close to his return, but because of his history we do not want to take any risks.”
After the encounter against Genk, there are still six qualifying rounds to go. Jari Verscheieren is certainly still valuable to the purple and white, which is all the more reason not to take too many risks right away.
Do you have an alternative to Debast?
On top of that, Anderlecht also have to do without the suspended Zino Debast. Federico Gattoni seems to be his most likely replacement. Brian Rimmer himself left no doubt about it.
He explained: “Federico has experience and can handle big matches. We will be able to use him well.” It is not yet certain who will take over Thorgan Hazard's role, but it is likely to be Francis Amuzu.
