Selection Anderlecht - The New Saints

Besides Biglia , Anderlecht will also have to miss Cheikhou Kouyate against The New Saints. He sprained his ankle during the game against Eupen last Saturday. Jan Polak, who wants to leave, isn’t part of the selection either.

Also Kanu is injured. Romelu Lukaku on the other hand is free from injuries and joins the team. Because of the absence of all the midfielders, Lucas Marecek will probably play, just like Kljestan.

Ariël Jacobs realises that Lucas’ injury is serious and he knows he’ll have to miss him for a while. “Lucas is important for so many reasons. He’s become one of the leaders,” he says. “But, the absence of one player can’t be decisive.”

Selection: Bernárdez, Boussoufa, Chatelle, Chavarría, Cordier, Deschacht, De Sutter, Diandy, Gillet, Juhasz, Kljestan, Lecjaks, Legear, Lukaku, Marecek, Mazuch, Proto, Rnic, Sare, Schollen and Suarez.
