Preview on Anderlecht-Zenit

GAMES Anderlecht will face Zenit St. Petersburg in the Europa League on Thursday at 9pm. The game will be led by the 31 year old English referee Michael Oliver. The first leg will be played in the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels.

Anderlecht will have to do without Adrien Trebel, who joined the club in January. Since he already participated in European matches this season with Standard de Liège, he's not allowed to play. Dennis Appiah was replaced last weekend against Zulte Waregem with a light injury. It's not yet certain he'll be ready to play. His replacement, Andy Najar, won't be ready either. He's still recovering from a knee injury. Yesterday, he trained with a bandage around the injured knee, but a competitive match comes too soon for him.
