Franken Surprises: Five (!) players debut in KRC Genk

KRC Genk will not have to do without international players against Cercle Brugge on Saturday, but what makes matters worse is that there is still a question mark behind Brian Heynen. Thus Wouter Franken plays the youth card.

Henin was injured during winter training in Benidorm, where a truckload of youngsters also had the opportunity to impress Franken with their qualities. A task that a handful of local products seem to have succeeded with great success.

5 young genki

After all, the coach has room for at least five Young Genk teenagers in the first selection match of the new year. Konstantinos Karitsas, José Kongolo, Thomas Claeys, Alfred Caicedo and Noah Adedeji-Stenberg will be hoping to celebrate their debut.

Franken explains his confidence in the youngsters: “It is to their credit that they already have their nose to the window. They showed themselves in a positive way during the two training matches in Spain and will only play Jong Genk on Sunday.” .

Chance for Karitsas?

According to him, the fact that Limburger residents currently have to do without a truckload of absentees provides opportunities for others. Although he is the youngest member of the gang, expectations are particularly high for Karitsas.

So I wonder if the 16-year-old mega-talent, who has already scored four goals and three assists in the Challenger Pro League this season, will be able to show off her tricks at the Cegica Arena for the first time. Otherwise, there are no surprises in the essence of the competition.
