Vertonghen probably won't play before World Cup

INJURIES Examination today revealed that Jan Vertonghen's calf injury is not that bad. This is what Het Laatste Nieuws knows. The World Cup is not in danger, according to the newspaper, but he may not play Thursday's matches against Lierse and Sunday's against Genk.


Vertonghen injured himself yesterday during the warm-up for the match against Antwerp.

Due to Vertonghen's injury and the banishment of Wesley Hoedt, Anderlecht is suddenly short of defenders. Killian Sardella and Marco Kana are also still out.
